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.

Envy followed in their wake, "Such a beautiful woman is actually married—the young master is really fortunate..."


"That young master does have some good looks, but compared to that beauty, he falls far behind... Who could that couple be, owner and lady of which household?"


Diners chased out from the restaurant, looking at the backs of the two and offering their unsolicited comments.


Someone said, "That's Xiao Yuchuan from Wushan Village. I heard his wife only cost sixteen taels of silver. And that's not all, his capable wife... You saw just now, she's more beautiful than even the fairies. And that's not all, it's said that all of the Xiao Family's wealth now is earned by his wife, including the currently underway renovation of the haunted house..."
