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

"Enjoy the sun at your own pace." She stood up and walked outside the courtyard.


"Where are you going?" He stood up to follow her.


"This is my territory, how is it not my business?" His tone hardened. This damned woman, she really couldn't stand him!


"If you hadn't poisoned me, I would have left already." Her face was cloaked in suppressed anger.


He wore a harmless look on his face, "Didn't you also stab me with a sword? We're even."


"You will keep your word." She suddenly squinted her eyes slightly.


He understood she meant he had to hand over the Thousand-knot Grass and the antidote for the poison she was inflicted with in one month, "I'm a big man, of course my word counts."


She laughed as if she'd heard a joke, "Ha ha, you also consider yourself a man?"


She loved seeing him wounded and upset, "What, can't handle the truth?"
