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

Glancing at Tao Meijiao, "So your daughter has some beauty, what of it? Her tastes are peculiar, even liking that cripple Xiao Qinghe. That's not all; that rough man Xiao Yishan also stood watch outside the Tao Mansion for a month or so. Who knows if your daughter hasn't been played with by the Xiao Family's brothers at the same time?"


Tao Meijiao turned pale, while Master Tao became so enraged that flames nearly burst forth, and he slammed the table hard, "Scoundrel! Someone, throw Qin Liang out!"


The twenty family servants Qin Liang had brought with him barged in and one of them promptly pushed Master Tao to the ground, "Who dares to throw my young Master out!"


"Father!" Tao Meijiao hurried to help her father up.


"Tao Wangde!" Qin Liang called out Master Tao's given name, "If you don't hand over one thousand taels of silver today, I will carry away all the valuable items in your Tao Mansion!"
