The Beloved Village Chief Is Up to Something

No-Romance Farming Stories (If You Don’t Understand What “No Romance” Means, Don’t Recommend Anything)

I want books similar to Owe the System Six Hundred Million, Get Rich Through Farming. The protagonist can be male or female. No ambiguous relationships, no saintly protagonists, no annoying top-tier relatives, no transmigration into an old woman, and no raising children. A System or spatial storage is fine, as are mountain and coastal foraging.

A Transmigrated Farm Girl with a Pocket Dimension and a Close-Knit Family

Rural Living, Retirement, Something Fresh, and a Grand Old Estate

Set in modern times. The heroine is a powerful woman with a car, a house, and plenty of money. She has a traditional-style country estate or a villa, and starts enjoying a quiet retirement: fishing by the lake and planting rice in the fields. The male lead is optional! Most importantly, no kids!!!

Female Lead Isn’t a Saint, Doted on by Everyone, No CP, No Male Lead, No Romance

No CP! No CP! No CP! I do not mean no fixed CP, I mean no CP at all!!! Do not have some random male supporting character fall in love with the female lead, and no ambiguous romance plots.

Looking for a completed, cozy farming novel with decent writing, just a little bit of cleverness, an entirely good cast, and no interference from the imperial court.

Farming Novels Where the Protagonist Doesn't Become a Stepmother

I'd like to read something like From Selling Wild Vegetable Pancakes to Making a Fortune. Anything where they start out foraging for mushrooms in the mountains or something? No pocket dimensions, please.

Looking for a Book That I Think Had No Romance Pairing. Check the Description

I think one of the instances was Lovecraftian. There was something in it called Coriander, and the character played by the protagonist had their eyes replaced with snake eyes. Time ran backward throughout the whole instance. I can't remember where I saw this.
