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

The voice, celestial and devoid of any warmth, intoned, "One of you leaves, leaving behind a hand."


"How dare you!" Shen Yun's shrill voice erupted. She feared Chang Haotian to a degree but never paid any heed to Su Qingyue, who was without power or influence.


Smack! The sound of a slap echoed sharply.


Shen Yun fell to the ground, her face, caked in heavy makeup, now adorned with a vivid handprint. The rouge shook loose beside the imprint, accentuating the wrinkled skin beneath her corpse-like thick makeup.


No one saw who had struck the blow as Shen Yun toppled over.


"Master Chang, you, a dignified man, actually raised your hand against a married woman. You show too little consideration for the Xiao Family," Xiao Chonghuan bellowed. The ten lurking secret guards should have appeared, yet he found himself shouting again, "Someone, come quickly!"


Not a single secret guard was to be seen.
