"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?

"That's exactly what I'm going to do," Lu Jinchen said, nodding simply. "Once they see you, no one will speak such rubbish again."

Xia Yuqing stared at him, half-impressed. "Wait, you're really taking me to a banquet? What if I embarrass you? What if I ruin your reputation? Aren't you worried about what people will think?"

Do I look like I wear dresses?
