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

The primary character in Lariette's previous thoughts earlier—Stephanie—was currently in her apartment. Her blue eyes kept darting to the wall clock, a sense of unease took over her mind.

Because she had to face him today. He would arrive soon.

'Urgh... I don't want to meet him, but... I have to! Damn it!'

Stephanie fidgeted as she circled the living room of her apartment. Crossing her arms over her chest, she bit her nails out of her frustration.

What happened the last weekend still left Stephanie in deep humiliation. Following her return from Azure Bay, she had been locking herself in her apartment. She also refused to go back to Eldoria Heights.

"Phanie, are you sure you want to stay in your apartment?"

"I'm sorry, Mom. I need some time alone. Please don't worry about me."

When a worried Samantha asked her again and again, Stephanie insisted with her plan. She said she needed some solitude.
