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

"Okay." She crouched down, letting his arm rest on her shoulder, supporting him as they walked toward the room.


She couldn't help but recall the night he was on top of her, frantically desiring her.


Xiao Yishan, leaning on her shoulder, with her petite frame almost entirely in his embrace, naturally thought of the night he had wanted her as well, a warmth stirring in his lower abdomen.


But with thoughts aside, he dared not lay a finger on her.


After helping him to lie down on the bed, Tao Meijiao wasn't reassured, so she had a servant prepare a bowl of medicine for him.


A night of vigil had brought them closer.


In the following days, Tao Meijiao and Xiao Yishan managed to get along quite pleasantly.


Chang Haotian came to the Xiao Mansion several times, uninvited each time.
