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 is he?" she raised an eyebrow, suddenly smiling. He would surely say, "Not telling you, right?"


A flash of surprise crossed Yinzhu's eyes. "Young Lady, you're truly smart. That's what the son-in-law said."


Yinzhu helped Su Qingyue get dressed and combed her hair.


Su Qingyue's body had suffered greatly. Although she had been treated with medicine and didn't feel the unbearable sensation of having her bones knocked out, her body was still sore. Fortunately, after getting some sleep and regaining her strength, she felt it was within tolerable limits.


After washing up, she stepped out of her room and glanced toward the kitchen. Xiao Yuchuan was in there, frying vegetables, and from the chimney rose cooking smoke.


Seeing Su Qingyue's figure, he revealed a smile even brighter than usual, "Wife, you're awake. The food will be ready soon; it's time for dinner."


His tone was light-hearted, as if nothing had happened.
