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

Su Qingyue rolled her eyes at him, "If you're so capable, why don't you have one at sixty and show me?"


"Dear, those are your words." Xiao Yuchuan winked his bright eyes at her, "By then you'll be fifty-three, and I'm afraid you might not be able to give birth. I don't mind having a few more kids as I'm about to enter the coffin, worst case the older brother can take care of the younger brother."


This time it was her turn not to understand, "What do you mean 'older brother take care of the younger brother'?"


He explained, "Think about it, wife, by the time we're that old, we might be able to give birth but probably can't take care of a newborn. But our oldest child will surely be able to, and they can look after the younger one."
