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.

Fu Chou naturally looked at Su Qingyue.


Qingyue observed the surroundings briefly and started walking forward on her own.


Not far ahead, the trees and the ground were full of winding poisonous snakes, some entangled together, snake devouring snake, others hanging on the trees and spitting out their tongues.


Fu Chou noticed some movement on the ground, and when he looked down, a snake had somehow coiled around his calf.


He drew his long sword, about to slash the snakehead off when Su Qingyue stopped him, "Don't kill it."


"I applied snake repellent powder on both of us. But there are too many snakes here, and all of them are fed with strong poison. My powder has little effect on them." Su Qingyue frowned, "If these snakes see blood, they'll agitate the entire group, causing more trouble. Just catch it and throw it away."
