"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's expression didn't waver as she shot him down without hesitation. "No, I can't be your pretend girlfriend."

Si Han pouted dramatically. "Why not?"

With a mournful sigh, he lamented, "Oh, heaven, why are all the good girls married?" Then, tilting his head slightly, his lips curved into a playful smirk. "Even if you're married, can't you make an exception? Just for a day? Your husband won't even know."

"No." Her rejection was even colder this time.

It didn't matter that her marriage was nothing more than a contract. Pretending to be someone else's girlfriend felt like crossing a line. Like it or not, she was Lu Jinchen's wife. And despite everything, betraying that role, even in pretense, left a bitter taste in her mouth.
