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.

At this moment, Shen Yun entered the side room and, seeing Gongsun Qianru still sitting by her son's bed, said with pity, "Ru'er, you've been caring for Chuan'er a whole day; you must be tired."


"It's not tiring," Qianru replied, her attitude gentle. "Brother Chuan is my fiancé. Taking care of him is something I should do."


"Chuan'er is fortunate to marry you," said Shen Yun with concern. "You look tired. You should rest early. The chef has prepared dinner; it's ready in the West Garden."


"We're family; no need for such formalities."


Before leaving, Gongsun Qianru glanced at Xiao Yuchuan on the bed. She had hoped that when he woke up, he would see her taking care of him and feel grateful in his heart.


Little did she know he would sleep like a log, making her wait uselessly all afternoon in his room.
