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

"Master!" Shen Yun was shocked. Hadn't they agreed to separate Chuan'er and Yue'er? How could he...


When Xiao Yuchuan heard this, the coldness on his face dissipated, "Are your words true?"


"As the head of a family, my promise is as weighty as Mount Tai; how could it be false?" Xiao Chonghuan's face was stern, "Chuan'er, you should know the determination it took for your father to make this promise, and the sacrifices that have been made. In this world, there are always trade-offs to be made. I can only say that I, Xiao Chonghuan, value you, my son, too greatly."


Xiao Yuchuan looked at his father's stern yet kind face, a flicker of emotion passing through his eyes.


Su Qingyue mockingly curled the corner of her lip. The third brother didn't know the extent to which she had fallen out with the Xiao couple during the day; reconciliation was simply impossible.


Only a fool would believe in such a promise from Xiao Chonghuan.


Don't call me old stuff
