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

"You're sixteen," he said with a fallen face. "I'm twelve years older than you, which is a real blow. I don't have much of anything, except money. If money could buy youth and make me ten or even eight years younger, that'd be great."


"Yes, Uncle, if you were just three or four years older and got married earlier, you could have fathered me." She spread her hands, "So, Uncle, please stop fantasizing about an old bull gnawing on fresh grass all day long!"


"Xiao Yuchuan is also much older than you!" he emphasized.


"He's only seven years older than me, still within an acceptable range." She looked him up and down. Despite being twenty-eight, he somehow appeared to be only twenty-three or twenty-four. Damn it, this Estate Owner was defying the natural order with his youthful look.


Only thing is, she was married, which of course meant she could only admire from afar and not indulge.
