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

The slight cry snapped Ruediger out of his thoughts. He abruptly stood up as his focus returned to Lariette before he finally realized what had just happened.

Oh, it was the case of a loose hair tie.

As Lariette trimmed the green beans, a lock escaped her ponytail and fell across her face. She tried brushing it back with one hand, but it slipped forward again. The stray strand kind of annoyed her.

Ruediger let out an amused chuckle as he saw the slight frustration on Lariette's face. Without thinking, he asked, "Want me to tie your hair back?"

Lariette paused. She looked from the finely chopped green beans to Ruediger. Blinking, she nodded once, "Okay. Can you tie it into a bun? It'll be better than a ponytail."
