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

She got out of bed and tried to walk out without even putting on her shoes. Her body swayed, and after just a few steps, she fell to the ground. Scrambling up, she tried to keep going.


Xiao Yishan watched her pale little face, which didn't look like she was lying at all. His heart softened involuntarily, and he carried her back to the bed.


She clung to his chest, crying out, "Let me go, let me go!"


"Alright, Rong'er, I trust you, isn't that enough!" Xiao Yishan was getting a bit annoyed by her crying.


Already feeling guilty inside, Li Rong'er relaxed as he didn't pursue the matter further. She rested her small face on his shoulder, sobbing intermittently. She thought to herself, how could Yuchuan have known that she had added an aphrodisiac to the medicinal soup? Could he also know medicine?


She felt a chill that wasn't from the cold.
