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

"Don't just talk, come, Yue'er..." Shen Yun draped the new Yunjin Luo dress over Su Qingyue, "Try this dress on."


Su Qingyue was somewhat hesitant, "Lady Xiao, such an expensive dress should be worn by you."


"This is what the young people wear, I'm of an age now, it's not fitting for me to wear such youthful clothes." Shen Yun pulled her up from the chair and helped her put on the dress herself, "You know, I gave birth to two sons, and my eldest, Xu'an, passed away when he was young..."


Her voice became lonesome, "Although Jingyuan was born to the former maid Yang Xuelian and Xiao Hai, I also accepted him as my own, but he too left me. Chuan'er is now my only son. Speaking of which, I've had three sons, just not a single daughter. You are my daughter-in-law, from the very first glance, I was especially fond of you. I've long considered you as my own daughter."


As she spoke, she had already fastened Qingyue's waist belt.
