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

Su Qingyue thus did not over-refuse, "In that case, I thank you, Lady."


She called Maid Yinzhu and instructed her, "Zhu'er, take all the things Lady Xiao sent into the side room."


"Yes." Yinzhu nodded and led a group of servants into the side room one after another.


Shen Yun originally thought that Su Qingyue would be unable to resist the temptation of the gifts and would excitedly examine each piece of silk and jewelry, revealing the kind of greedy countenance that one who is not accustomed to the world's affairs might display. However, to her surprise, Su Qingyue merely accepted them and at once, Shen Yun felt upset inside, yet she maintained a kindly expression and said, "Yue'er, won't you take a look? Those sets of jewelry all come from Ziyu Zhai in the capital city."


The implication was that they were very valuable.


Su Qingyue then put on a show of briefly looking over them, "Lady Xiao's every gift is a treasure, and I like them all."
