Asian trophy wife

A wife who meets the report card requirements of an Asian tiger mom in-law. While still human, an Asian trophy wife is valued for her degrees, academic credentials, and/or professional achievements. An Asian trophy wife’s personality, beauty, or goals in life are secondary. The more impressive the resume, the better the trophy.

“My mother in law only likes me because I have a PhD.”
“Oh, you mean you’re an Asian trophy wife!”
