If you're willing to do some TV-watching, a pretty good mini-series somewhat in the vein of what you're looking for is The Politician's Wife ( Wikipedia), where a cheated-on UK Minister's wife schemes to get a thorough revenge on her husband by cleverly and underhandedly sabotaging and usurping his political aspirations while maintaining a look of sweet-eyed supportive innocence throughout, and goes from victim to vanquisher in the process.
