--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?

Hours later, Xia Yuqing and Yan Rouxi stumbled into a modern bar like two lost souls. The place was bursting with energy—neon lights casting a sultry glow, bodies grinding against the heavy bass of music loud enough to shake one's soul.

Yan Rouxi wasted no time dragging Xia Yuqing into a private room. The moment they settled in, bottles of expensive liquor were brought in. Yan Rouxi dived in headfirst, downing glass after glass like a champion. Today, she had decided to drown her sorrows till dawn.

Meanwhile, Xia Yuqing who was usually more reserved, obediently drank whatever was handed to her. She had never had the chance to taste liquor before. In her past life, being an assassin meant always staying sober, and remaining guarded. One sip too many, and she could wake up with a dagger in her back.
