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

"Of course, second Brother Xiao got you out quickly; he dove into the water just like that to save you. Your father sent someone to look for you, and I even had to lie, saying you wanted to stay in the Xiao Mansion for a few more days. You slept with my husband's second brother, and I had no objections. If you slept with him, so be it. You don't take responsibility, and I have nothing to say. I even thought about finding someone else for you. I treated you so well, yet you dare say I'm driving you away?"


"I..." Tao Meijiao embarrassedly tugged at her sleeve, "Xiao Yue, I was wrong."


"Where were you wrong?" she raised an eyebrow, "Was it wrong to sleep with second brother, or was it refusing to take responsibility for him?"


"..." She felt a bit depressed inside, "Clearly, I am the one at a disadvantage, so why does it sound like it's all my fault when it comes out of your mouth?"


Tao Meijiao didn't understand her implication, "Hmm?"
