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.

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

Ruediger and Lariette continued their shopping journey. They walked through the aisles after getting the seafood packed by the attendant, heading to the poultry section.

"Let's get the ripe bananas. I wanna make a banana cake."

"Grandma! Mimi want chocolate please~"

"Both cookies look yummy! Should we get both?"

The air in the grocery store buzzed softly with the chatters of the shoppers, echoing alongside the song played by the speakers. Lariette and Ruediger walked past them before reaching the poultry section.

"Everything has been packed," muttered Ruediger, his eyes scanning the rows of neatly packaged chicken cuts, "I'll get thighs and drummettes too. What do you think?"

Lariette nodded eagerly. She almost salivated as she said, "Spicy honey drummettes sound good. Don't you think so?"

Lariette's remarks spilled laughter from Ruediger's lips. He shook his head in helplessness as he saw the hungry look on her face.
