Author: Qiao Luo Bai|Status: Completed

Joey picked up a random man at the matchmaking center and got married on impulse. He paid the mortgage with a bitter laugh, ate at roadside stalls, and sold goods on the street. Everyone assumed this was a marriage of convenience between two nobodies, destined to fail within months. Then the truth began to surface. Colleagues were shocked to discover that Joey's "random" husband was not the broke stranger he appeared to be. The man eating cheap noodles beside Joey was, in fact, the CEO of a major corporation, living a double life to escape the gold-diggers and schemers that plagued his world. What Joey thought was a humble marriage was actually the most extraordinary twist of fate. Now Joey wants a divorce. Not because the love is gone, but because the revelation feels like betrayal. How can she trust a man who built their entire relationship on a lie? The CEO, who has faced hostile takeovers and corporate warfare without flinching, finds himself terrified of losing the one person who loved him when she thought he was nobody. Winning Joey back will require more than money and power -- it will require the one thing he has never been good at: the truth.

Ace Carter Greyson married his wife for five years and force-divorced her on their fifth wedding anniversary. His reason was as cruel as it was absurd: she could not bear him a male heir. The woman who devoted half a decade to pleasing his family, managing his household, and suppressing her own ambitions was discarded like an expired contract. What Ace does not know is that she is pregnant. The night he served the divorce papers, she was already carrying the child he claimed she could never give him. She walks away without revealing the secret, choosing to raise her baby alone rather than expose her child to a father who values gender over love. Years later, she re-emerges -- not as the pitiful ex-wife, but as a successful, independent woman raising a child who is the spitting image of his father. When Ace discovers the truth, his carefully ordered world implodes. The CEO who discarded his wife for not producing an heir now realizes he threw away the mother of his only son. Winning her back will require more than money and apologies -- it will require confronting the toxic values that drove her away and proving that he has changed for real, not just for show.

There once was a popular question: if you woke up and your gender had changed, what would be your first reaction? For one man, the answer is waking up as a woman -- specifically, as the wife of the man who was his love rival in the previous life. The irony is so thick it could be cut with a knife. The love rival husband is everything the protagonist remembers: handsome, powerful, and utterly devoted to a woman who, in this timeline, is the protagonist himself. The gender-swap creates a comedy of errors as the protagonist navigates female expectations, a husband's affection, and the absurdity of being married to the person you once competed against. As the protagonist adjusts to life as the rival's wife, genuine feelings begin to surface beneath the confusion and comedy. The rival, who in the previous life was an enemy, proves to be a devoted and surprisingly tender husband. The gender-bent transmigrator discovers that love does not care about previous rivalries, current gender, or logical consistency -- it simply is.
