Southern Wind

The Xiao family, known as the poorest amongst the mountaineers had just spent all their savings as dowry for a daughter-in-law, who was disfigured, dark, skinny, and mute. Mocked as the ugliest bride within miles, she eventually had enough of a life in poverty and escaped, only to fall in the hands of rogues who murdered her. 

When she opened her eyes again, her soul was now that of a killer's, and her disfigurement was healed while her unhealthily tanned skin was now fair as day.... And she could also talk! As she became the most beautiful bride. Villagers kept their distance from the Xiao family, claiming that they were jinxes. But despite her poverty, the bride was fortunate to have a loyal mountaineer husband who spoiled her to bits. Hence, the bride guided her husband to riches, buying farms and tending to them diligently, while starting a family to gain riches through blood and sweat.

The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Su Qingyue noticed the second brother's gaze on her from time to time.


The way the second brother looked at her...


She poked her head through the open window, "Qinghe, everyone in this family is so strange; only you seem normal."


Sitting on the bed and leaning against the wall, Xiao Qinghe knew that his wife was standing outside the window on his right.


He was so nervous that he didn't know how to face her.


Unexpectedly, his wife suddenly said that. He felt that everyone in the family was normal, and it was his wife who was a bit off. He moved his lips, not daring to say it out loud.


Su Qingyue didn't get a response, so she simply walked over to the door, pushed it open, and entered the room, "It's so dark in here, don't you light lamps? Are you used to this?"


"I'm used to it." His melodious voice resonated in the dark, "I always sit on the bed, and I can't get off the bed. It's the same whether the light is on or not."
