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

"The one who just went upstairs is our boss," the waiter asked. "May I know what business you have with our boss?"


"Tell him to come down and see me," the elderly man's demeanor was still quite grand.


The waiter was somewhat displeased, and had it not been for the training received at the Xiao Mansion not to lose temper with customers, he would have wanted to send this old fellow packing. "You might as well speak about your business with our boss, so that I may convey the message upstairs?"


"Listen well!" the elderly man said haughtily, "I am your shopkeeper lady Su Qingyue's father, and your boss's father-in-law!"


His voice was so loud that all the diners in the lobby of the New Moon Restaurant were stunned for a moment.


Seeing the elderly man's appearance, the waiter did not believe he was lying. Thinking that if he truly was the shopkeeper lady's father, he could not afford to offend him, he said, "I will go and fetch the boss."
