Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First! Novel

Ruan Mian unexpectedly finds herself transported into a novel, arriving at a crematorium where she assumes the role of an abandoned wife. The original wife had spent three years in the Qi Mansion, dutifully supporting her mother-in-law, caring for her sisters-in-law, managing household affairs, and concealing the family's financial troubles. When her supposedly deceased husband returns and becomes engaged to the Princess, Ruan Mian refuses to accept her fate. She tears up the divorce papers, reclaims the family assets, and systematically strips the household of its wealth. Cast into exile, Ruan Mian transforms her circumstances through shrewd business ventures and considerable resources. While others suffer hardship during exile, she thrives in luxury and comfort, eventually developing a neglected town into a prosperous region coveted by two nations. When the greedy Emperor seeks to seize this thriving land, he sends her estranged husband as his representative. Ruan Mian makes her position clear: she demands not only the land but also the people.
