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

"Qingyue, you're truly kind!" Tao Meijiao immediately gave up the jewelry and walked over to her side, "A friend shouldn't take advantage of another friend. I appreciate the thought, but I'd better not take it."


"It's alright, take it if you like it."


"Nothing is more important than you, I'd feel troubled if I took it." Tao Meijiao waved her hands repeatedly, "Where is your husband?"


"Qingyue, I used to think your Dad and Mom were difficult to get along with, but now it seems..." She glanced around at the gifts in the room, "the fact that they sent you so many nice things shows that a first-class family has accepted you as their daughter-in-law."


"Is that so," she responded noncommittally, "Some things aren't as simple as they appear on the surface."


"I think Shen Yun is just roping me in. Perhaps... she wants her son to take another concubine."
