Despite being betrayed by her boyfriend, the neglected heiress Lariette Elsher is still forced to marry him – all because her family wants to appease the fake daughter. The one she was switched at birth with.

Screw this! She's done playing nice!

Devasted and enraged, Lariette seeks her friend's help – to pick the best man at her butler cafe to be her contracted husband. 

Enter Ruediger Alvord, infamously known as the poor outcast of the Alvord family, the Elsher's family nemesis. He proposes to be Lariette's partner-in-crime, to wreak havoc in both families.

While Lariette is busy getting her revenge, she fails to notice her contracted husband's strange behavior. She also fails to recognize him from a distant past.

Before>
Ruediger: I have nothing much on my name but, I can be a good househusband.
Lariette: It's okay. I can feed you.

After>
Ruediger: Do you want that house? It's nothing much. Only one billion.
Lariette: Aren't you just... a househusband?

Since when is her husband a billionaire?!

Heiress' Househusband is a Secret Billionaire

Rubbing her teary eyes, Lariette took a deep breath before slowly exhaling, trying to calm herself down. She refused to let the unpleasant memories of the past taint her daily joy.

Her maternal grandmother left this Mermaid's Heart for her as a token of her love but, the first time she would use it was in her scheme of revenge.

Lariette returned the necklace to the box, a sad smile playing on her lips. She carefully closed the lid before looking at Chairman Delaney.

"I'm being petty, Grandpa. I'm taking back what's rightfully mine just because I want to return what I felt before to them."

Lariette knew Chairman Delaney might be upset with her choice but, she wouldn't back down. She had done so countless times already in the past ten years by bending over backward in following her family's nonsensical and biased demands.

Including what Stephanie herself had done to her.

'...I still can't forget everything.'
