"I want a divorce," Xia Yuqing declared, placing the signed papers on her husband's desk.

His response?

"Pay up 50 million for breaching the marriage contract.... or make my mother despise you."

Once a powerful empress in her past life, Xia Yuqing has now transmigrated into the body of a woman with the same name, bound in a loveless contract marriage. Fed up and desperate for freedom, she decides to do both: become a money-making machine and a mother-in-law's worst nightmare.

And there's a catch—he looks just like the emperor, her husband from her past life.

Now, what will Xia Yuqing do when her cold husband demands a chance at their relationship? Will the once-powerful empress choose her freedom, or will she surrender to the love she never saw coming?

How was she supposed to get that amount of money? Did this man think she was a hidden tycoon? She barely had five thousand in her account!
