After Remarrying in Middle Age, I Made My Scumbag Ex Beg for More With My Medicinal Cuisine

Her father is gravely ill and urgently needs 50,000 to save his life, so Xia Yu begs her husband for help.

Her husband tosses her 5,000 and mocks her: "What have you contributed to this family? And now you want to use my money to help your family?"

So does a housewife, bound to the home by marriage, have no value?

Her in-laws favor boys over girls. Her child is rebellious by nature. Her husband transfers their assets and has an affair that results in an illegitimate child.

With a marriage this full of misery, what does she have left to hold on to?

After the divorce, Xia Yu's life takes off. With her talent for medicinal cuisine, she opens a restaurant chain, finds a fresh career and love, and makes a triumphant comeback as a queen.

Meanwhile, her scumbag ex-husband's fortunes keep sinking until he goes bankrupt and comes crawling back to her.

Tell the lousy ex to get lost. I'm going to shine on my own.
