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.

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 second master said he has nothing to do with you anymore and refuses to pass on any messages," the gatekeeper waved his hand dismissively, "Off you go, off you go!"


Li Rong'er took out ten copper coins from her bosom, "Young man, please announce my arrival... "


The gatekeeper stuffed the copper coins back into her hand, "I've already told you the second master won't see you..."
