--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?

Cold Ceo's Wife is a Paparazzi

Xia Yuqing was deep in conversation with Yan Bolin when suddenly, a firm hand snaked around her waist. Her lips pressed into a thin line as she was pulled into a hard chest. A clean scent of fresh cologne hit her nose before she could even protest.

Even Yan Bolin fell silent when he saw Lu Jinchen.

"Mr. Yan," Lu Jinchen greeted with a slight nod.

Yan Bolin returned the greeting, his tone familiar. "Ah.... Jinchen, I didn't expect you to come. But, it's great to see you here."

Since their companies had worked together on several deals, he was well acquainted with Lu Jinchen. Besides, Yan Rouxi had already mentioned Lu Jinchen's contract marriage with Xia Yuqing to him, so he wasn't surprised to see them together.

But what surprised him was that the emperor's face in Xia Yuqing's memory was exactly like Lu Jinchen's. However, he knew for certain that Lu Jinchen was not the emperor. If he were, Yan Bolin would have felt the connection.
