--WSA 2025 ENTRY--

"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.

But her plans start to hilariously backfire when her cold, distant husband suddenly begins to fall for her.

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?

The next morning, Xia Yuqing sat at the breakfast table as the maids placed dish after dish before her. The aroma of freshly brewed tea and warm dim sum filled the air, but her mind was elsewhere.

But this was her new life. And if she truly wanted to change, she needed to start with the small things. So, for the first time in years, she forced herself to sleep two more hours, though it felt more like self-inflicted torture.

After finally getting up, she went through her morning routine and did some light exercises in her room. Her body itched for a proper morning run in the estate garden, but one glance at her injured leg reminded her to stay put.

Can we talk without the knife?
