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

Xiao Yishan's heart filled with a touch of bitterness, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. But what's done is done; let me make it up to you..."


"It's my own fault," Tao Meijiao's face was so pale that it seemed she could faint at any moment. Her body and mind deeply injured, and after soaking in the river water, she passed out.


Xiao Yishan hastily caught her as she fell, "Qingyue, can you quickly check on her?"


Su Qingyue reached out to feel her pulse, "She's caught a wind-cold. I'll prescribe some medicine for her later; after taking it and resting for a couple of days, she will be alright. It's nearly dawn, and it's not suitable for her to return to the Tao Mansion in this state, to avoid worrying Master Tao. Let's take her back to the Xiao Mansion."


Xiao Yishan picked up Tao Meijiao and headed toward the Xiao Mansion.
