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.

"Young Lady, do you really have the heart to let your son-in-law go?"


"No," Su Qingyue sighed, "I am just letting things take their course, going with the flow. It's true that returning to the Xiao Family would be a great leap forward for third brother's career. I don't wish to return to the Xiao Family, nor is it possible for me to be any man's concubine. Truth be told, it's me who has held back third brother's progress. Without me, he would certainly have gone back to the capital by now."


Young Lady, but, it took the son-in-law so much effort to become a dragon, and to give up like this... it's such a pity."


"I, Su Qingyue, have never cared about whether he is a dragon or not," Su Qingyue replied with a bitter smile on her lips. "If I could choose, I would rather he just be a simple man from the mountains."


"The son-in-law would surely be willing to stay for you..."
