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

"I am not wronged, this is as it should be," Xiao Qinghe said with an indifferent smile.


Xiao Chonghuan's sharp eyes swept over Xiao Qinghe, "I presume you are Xiao Hai's fourth son, Xiao Qinghe?"


"Indeed," Qinghe replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Greetings, Master Xiao."


"Mm." Xiao Chonghuan gave a slight nod, acknowledging him.


Shen Yun looked at Qinghe's both legs, "He's a good child, pity about the legs... Nevertheless, I heard you've learned medicine and have some medical skill to depend on, which is something to fall back on."


Qinghe glanced at Su Qingyue, "It was all Qingyue's teachings."


Xiao Chonghuan and his wife's gaze settled on Su Qingyue, and Shen Yun spoke, "Yue'er, may I call you that?"


"Truly a peerless beauty," Shen Yun, as a woman herself, couldn't help but exclaim, "Chuan'er is truly lucky to have married you."


"Lady overpraises," she responded politely.
