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

"How much money did you put in the envelope?"


"Wow, twenty copper coins, that's not a small amount! Usually, people put in ten copper coins, and close ones give twenty. Some even give as little as five copper coins..."


The women continued to talk about how much money each family received from their daughters' marriages, who was quarrelling among them, and which family brought in a fierce wife.


Su Qingyue silently listened to them on the side.


Upon arriving in town, everyone on the ox cart paid their fare and then went to find a spot in the market.


As she looked over the bustling market, she noticed that all the good spots at the mobile stalls on both sides of the road were taken. The fixed stall spots were occupied in the long term, so there was no way to grab one of those either.


Aunt Liu stomped her foot, "Oh dear, we're too late today, we can't find a good spot!"


Su Qingyue estimated that it was around eight o'clock in the morning.
