Plot


Ellie lives in "Full House," the house that her architect father built before passing away a few years ago. She loves the place, but one day people come to kick her out, claiming that the place now belongs to the famous British actor Ryder Bayer. Furious, she grabs her scripts that she has worked hard on writing, and wanders, trying to figure out why her house was taken. While walking across the street, she narrowly avoids being hit by a car, but the wheel does roll over her foot. And the owner of the car turns out to be none other than Ryder Bayer.
As compensation for the accident, she asks for her house back, but he refuses, and they decide to enter a contract marriage and split the house between them. The manhwa is about their explosive marriage, and how they eventually fell in love with each other despite cataclysmic fights and dirty scandals.

He was the one who originally kicked Ellie out of her house, though he does not remember.
He is Ryder's secretary, and also does all of the cooking, cleaning, and driving for Ryder, refusing to let him hire a house keeper or cook since he'd rather be by Ryder's side. He falls in love with Ellie's best friend Christine, and roots for the couple more than anyone else.
