--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.

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?

Xia Yuqing dabbed her lips with a napkin and leaned back in her chair, completely satisfied. "Well, that was a great meal. Thank you for the treat, Mr. Lu. Now, if you're done trying to impress me, would you kindly send me back to my office?"

Xia Yuqing leaned forward, her eyes narrowing. "Where?"

Xia Yuqing pursed her lips. "You know, a normal person would say 'thank you for your time' and let me go on my merry way."

Lu Jinchen raised a single brow, a faint, amused smile tugging at his lips. "Do I look normal to you?"
