"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?

"What are we doing here?" Xia Yuqing asked, her brow arching as they strolled into the dressing section of the mall.

"Shopping," Yan Rouxi replied, rolling her eyes like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Xia Yuqing sighed. "I meant the occasion. Why are we suddenly shopping for a dress?"

Yan Rouxi shot her a look. "What do you mean, why? We're friends! Friends shop, gossip about boys, defend each other's honor, and enjoy life. Do I need a signed decree just to drag you out shopping with me?"

Xia Yuqing gave her a flat look. "Reason."

Yan Rouxi pouted. "You're no fun, Xia Yuqing. You are the first girl I have met who hates shopping."

Xia Yuqing remained silent, her eyes watching her coldly.

Seeing this, Yan Rouxi sighed. "Fine! I have a date tonight."

Xia Yuqing blinked. "With your fiancé?"

Yan Rouxi's lips curled into an almost devilish smile. "Yes."
