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 smiled and said, "Lady Xiao, since the third brother has yet to be officially acknowledged by the family, if I were to address him like that now, it might spark idle gossip."


"I am Yuchuan's birth mother; how could there be idle gossip, and who would dare to indulge in it!" Shen Yun's face exuded the domineering aura befitting a lady from a first-class family.


She took a set of embroidered clothes from Shuang'er's arms.


Su Qingyue glanced over and saw the emerald green clothes with golden thread outlining the collar and cuffs, and clusters of lifelike pear flowers on the skirt of the dress, while the birds perched on the branches seemed as if they were about to take flight.


"What a magnificent Cloud and Brocade Robe!" Xiao Yuchuan, just entering the yard, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.


"Chuan'er has returned from the shop," Shen Yun said with a smile, taking out an embroidered handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
