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 Yishan saw the bearded man in the yard and naturally did not recognize that it was Su Qingyue, "Who are you?"


Qingyue still used ventriloquism to claim she was a friend of Xiao Yuchuan.


Xiao Yishan did not give her another glance and asked with genuine concern, "Third brother, is Yue'er well hidden? With such cold weather, where could she hide?"


"Rest assured, second brother," Xiao Yuchuan said firmly. "I won't let anything happen to Yue'er."


It wasn't long before the villagers passed on the news that County Magistrate Zheng had temporarily lodged at village chief Hua Changxu's house.


A little later, Hua Lizheng organized the strong men, along with the government officials, to knock on doors house by house and inform all villagers over the age of ten to gather at the several empty lands beside the village well, asking men and women to assemble separately.
