She Kicked Her Scumbag Husband to the Curb and Rose from Housewife to Top Scholar

Jiang Jinyu, the daughter of a merchant family, loved poetry and the arts from a young age. She married a poor scholar whose talents had gone unrecognized, bringing an enormous dowry with her. She poured her entire dowry into supporting him and his family, only to end up as a stepping stone. Her whole family was wiped out, and others eyed her family’s property hungrily. Jiang Jinyu refused to remain a married-out daughter any longer. He wouldn’t agree to a divorce? Fine, then she would divorce him herself, whatever the cost! Her scumbag husband and his mistress had power on their side? Those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear. She would have her revenge for the blood feud! Women weren’t allowed to do this or that? She would sit the imperial examinations, enter the court, and run circles around them all!
