I like calm, everyday stories without awful relatives: just a happy family working hard to earn money and improve their lives. Keep the golden finger subtle, not overpowered.

Why do farming novels always turn into cultivation novels?
Looking for Stories About a Female Lead Growing Up in Her Own World
No transmigrated, reborn, or otherworldly heroines. I want a normal growth arc, or a heroine who's already strong and clever. No golden finger! I'd love to find the kind of story where she says, “I can beat you fair and square.” Anyone get what I mean?!
Transmigration, Cultivation, Raising Kids, Farming
Looking for books similar to I Went to the Wasteland Planet to Join My Brother, and Unexpectedly Met My Kid's Dad. The protagonist first transmigrates to a powerful figure's sect in the cultivation world, lies low for ten years, then sacrifices himself alongside the demons to save the cultivation world! The Heavenly Dao gives him another chance, and he comes back to life in the interstellar era to raise a child, cultivate, and farm. Nothing too...
Recommend Some Good, Intelligent Reads. I'll Try Any Genre, Male- or Female-Oriented
I'd like to read books like Slay the Gods. I like stories about clever protagonists who grow, but they should still have satisfying moments. Are there any growth-focused books like Slay the Gods? I'm open to any genre. I'm desperate for recommendations!

I love this novel, I love Huai Shang, I followed it from the Siheyuan (courtyard house) series. "The Mountain Dwellers" is currently on hiatus. Will it resume? It's quite good; the more you read, the better it gets. The author updates regularly and frequently. I wait for the next chapter before getting out of bed every day! 👍
It's great! I love family dramas, hehe.
Plain and simple, noisy and meticulous, the authentic life of a group of ordinary people comes to life.
I'll give myself five stars. Keep it up! (ง •̀_•́)ง🤭
A wonderful book! A return to simplicity! Family and human relationships, genuine and heartfelt, blossoming in countless ways. The first book I've read from cover to cover in over a year, and one I read with great anticipation throughout! In our youth we read biographies of great figures; in our old age we appreciate the everyday life of ordinary people.
It's good; time flows on, and each dynasty has its own way of life. However, after reading several novels about past dynasties, I noticed that the military generals were often treated unfairly. They were loyal to the emperor and loved their country, some even sacrificing their entire families for the nation. Yet, the dynasties didn't treat them well, which makes one feel uneasy.
It was a pleasure to read; I haven't read a book like this in a long time. With other books, I usually lose interest after a few chapters, but I read this one with great patience.
This is definitely the most realistic novel I've ever read in terms of prices, and there's no scene where someone makes 10 taels of silver a month selling tofu...
It depicts the real life of ordinary people, full of the colors of everyday life, full of hardships and setbacks, but also full of hope. The story is simple and ordinary, yet it also portrays the changes in the female protagonist's character with delicate and natural detail. It's a beautiful story.
First of all, this is a book suitable for readers with some life experience and a certain level of knowledge. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 As a novice writer, I find the author's conception comprehensive, demonstrating considerable preparation beyond the surface. 👍👍👍👍👍 The story is compelling, avoiding overly clever "tricks."
