    I have a similar novel on my homepage called "The Cannon Fodder Mistress Went Mad, Beating the Dog Emperor to Become Empress." No one seems to be reading it yet, but it's pretty satisfying. The female lead is a transmigrator. The writing isn't the best, but it's definitely the most satisfying. She gets divorced in twelve chapters. Before the divorce, she lets the scumbag husband take a bunch of concubines, and even takes back all the dowry the original owner had contributed to the marquis's mansion over the years, putting it into the national treasury. After that, the original owner's hundred-carriage dowry plus all the servants of the marquis's mansion return to the female lead's home, where she brutally beats the scumbag husband. I don't know why no one's reading it. Could you give me some advice?

    Among my favorite types of historical romance novels [laughing][laughing][laughing], there are several I still feel reluctant to finish. These are my absolute favorites. The writing, plot, characters, and everything else are excellent. They're not mindless, there are no overpowered plot devices, the female lead is intelligent, and there aren't any really mean scenes (like the early episodes where the female lead is constantly abused). You can read them with confidence; the quality is guaranteed. [Bump][bump][bump]
