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.

"I could never be a concubine. Even as a wife, if my husband were to take a concubine, or be with another woman, that wouldn't be acceptable," Su Qingyue's tone was more serious than ever, "My man, I will not share. If he betrays me, then I..."


"What could you possibly do?" Tao Meijiao said, "You and Xiao Yuchuan are already married, even if he takes another wife, you would just have to accept it."


"No, I would kill him. Or, I would sever all ties and live as if we were strangers until death." She spoke as if she were an outsider, indifferent as though discussing someone else's affairs.
