Driven to Death, I Married a Powerful Official and Stripped the Entire Marquis's Estate Bare

In her previous life, Song Yu endured humiliation for four years under the name of a virtuous and capable mistress, only to be cold-shouldered by her scumbag husband, bullied by his scheming concubine, and left with her birth family destroyed. She was sold to a brothel and ultimately drowned herself... Reborn, Song Yu decides to tear her enemies apart and crush her scumbag husband, while raising a promising illegitimate son to become a powerful minister. Then she'll make a grand spectacle of bringing down the entire Zhao Marquis household that betrayed her!

Bonus Scene 1:

The Zhao family's scoundrels kneel before Song Yu: Young Madam, please show mercy and save the marquis household! Punish us however you like, just please spare our lives...

Before Song Yu can speak, Zhao Zhitang says coolly, "How about executing those who beg for mercy and torturing those who don't?"

Song Yu smiles faintly. "Even the emperor listens to you these days. How could I refuse?"

Zhao Zhitang nods. "Thank you for agreeing, my dear!"

In a single night, a raging fire finally reduced the corrupt Zhao household, which had sheltered vice and evil in Song Yu's previous life, to ashes...

Bonus Scene 2:

Song Yu finally gets a divorce letter from Zhao Rui and walks away unscathed from the Zhao Marquis household, now reduced to ruins. Hoofbeats sound behind her as her brother-in-law, Zhao Zhitang, gallops up, followed by a procession of betrothal gifts.

Zhao Zhitang: The Marquis of the Zhao household has come to ask for the hand of the eldest daughter of the Song family! Song Yu, don't go!

Song Yu: You said you'd help me get divorced. What is all this supposed to mean?

Zhao Zhitang: I promised to help you divorce Zhao Rui. I never said I couldn't marry you! Miss Song, I've wanted to marry you for years...
