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.

"Back then in Wushan Village, if you hadn't saved me, I would have been long dead." He said, "The Xiao couple didn't truly care about me; they cared about the fact that I was the sole bloodline. Over five years ago, Xiao Chonghuan and his wife took the risk of giving me medicine long-term, which could have paralyzed me, just to ensure the Xiao Family's interests by having me marry Gongsun Qianru while I was unconscious. When Xiao Chonghuan thought his maid, Shuang'er, was pregnant, didn't he declare to sever the father-son relationship with me? But over five years have passed, he has grown older and can no longer have children, so now he pretends to seek me out as his son again. And this time, I have my own plans."
