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

Shen Yun saw her son's cold attitude and said with a heartache, "It's also my fault for not acknowledging him all these years for the sake of Chuan'er's life. Chuan'er, you must believe that your mother's heart aches more than anyone else's."


She looked at Su Qingyue, "Yue'er, I can endure anything to ensure Chuan'er's life is not in danger. But I truly had no other choice, please persuade Chuan'er not to hold on to this any longer."


"Third brother is a man of his own mind," Su Qingyue said indifferently, "Lady Xiao's difficulties will be understood by third brother."


Shen Yun gave a bitter smile and, with the support of a servant girl, returned to Yi Garden.


In one of the side rooms of Elegant Garden, Xiao Yishan lay in bed, while Tao Meijiao stood at the doorway, hesitating to knock.


While she hesitated, Xiao Yishan's voice came from inside, "Who's there?"


"It's... it's me," Tao Meijiao simply accepted.
