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

Tao Meijiao became increasingly uncomfortable with the awkward atmosphere.


Xiao Yuchuan, however, seemed very calm, his hand reaching for a pancake and tearing it into small pieces before placing them onto the empty plate in front of Su Qingyue.


"Chuan'er, it's inappropriate to tear pancakes with hands during a meal," Xiao Chonghuan's displeasure was evident, "It clashes with etiquette. The servants should have cut it with a knife beforehand."


"Master Xiao, I am just a village man," Xiao Yuchuan's face showed little expression, "As a village man, I've basked in the success of my wife and only just managed to become a somewhat wealthy merchant. I like tearing my pancakes with my hands, and I have washed them. My wife doesn't mind the dirt. Moreover, I don't like the servants cutting the pancakes for me; I prefer cooking and making dishes for my wife myself."
