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

Xiao Qinghe felt embarrassed under Tao Meijiao's intense gaze, "Miss Tao, please have some water."


Tao Meijiao picked up the cup and found his voice particularly pleasing to the ear.


Xiao Qinghe had never been so intently stared at by a woman, and such a beautiful one at that. Awkwardly, he said, "You two have a good chat." He wheeled his chair out of the living room, thinking to himself, do all the girls in town like to stare so openly at a person? Shouldn't a young Miss be more reserved?


Su Qingyue waved her hand in front of Tao Meijiao, "Come back to your senses."


She also laughed awkwardly, "That is, Qingyue... were you serious about what you just said?"


"About..." Tao Meijiao, still a young lady, blushed, "If I were to be with your fourth brother, would you truly be happy to see it happen?"
