Kicking Her Scumbag Husband to the Curb, the Matriarch Rises Through the Exams to Become Top Scholar

Jiang Jinyu, the daughter of a merchant, loved poetry and elegance from a young age. She married a poor scholar whose talents had gone unrecognized, bringing an enormous dowry with her. She spent every last coin of her dowry supporting his entire family, only to end up as their stepping stone. Her whole family was wiped out, and others were already eyeing their estate. Jiang Jinyu would no longer be a woman married into another family. He won’t agree to a divorce? Fine, then she’ll divorce him, whatever it takes! Her scumbag husband and his mistress have power and influence? Someone with nothing to lose has nothing to fear. She’ll have her revenge, no matter the cost! Women aren’t allowed to do this or that? Then she’ll sit the imperial examinations, enter the court, and run circles around them all!
