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

He treasured the five copper coins in her hand, picking them up one by one, "Wife, these five copper coins are the private money you gave me. They have a different meaning."


"When did I give you five copper coins..."


"It was before we got married, you once gave me five copper coins to go to the kiln, but I didn't go. I've been keeping the copper coins since then." He happily put the six copper coins she had just given him into his embroidered purse, "Now I have six more copper coins, that's eleven in total."


She had not expected that the five copper coins she tossed to third brother on a whim had been kept so carefully by him, and he even secretly embroidered a delicate purse for them.


Third brother didn't care even for several hundred taels of silver, it must have been her thought that mattered to him.
