[Alternate Setting + Farming and Food + Cozy Daily Life]
A curious new story has recently been making the rounds in Qingyun County. Plenty of people can’t help huddling by the corners of alley walls to watch the show.
It all began with the family of Qin the Butcher, at the far end of East Market Lane.
The Qin family had been slaughtering pigs for over thirty years. Whether they had incurred too much bloodshed or what, only one child remained in the family: a daughter.
The Qin girl was named Baozhu. She was beautiful and gentle-tempered, so even before she came of age, plenty of people had their eyes on her and wanted her as a daughter-in-law.
Who could have guessed she’d announce that she had to provide an heir for the Qin family and would only take a husband into her household, never marry out? Even the Qin family’s men and married-out aunts agreed with her.
Rumors spread like wildfire throughout the county. Some busybodies were practically pointing at her nose and saying terrible things. But no one expected that this seemingly gentle Qin Baozhu had the strength of several hundred pounds!
Everyone in the neighborhood saw it clearly. She merely waved her hand, and the ruffians blocking her way and looking for trouble went flying!
The onlookers gaped in shock. Some dropped their bowls and chopsticks, while one person, distracted from watching the show as he cracked sunflower seeds, even bit his tongue...
Good heavens, after that, Qin Baozhu became famous far and wide, and finding a husband became even harder.
At fifteen, she said she’d take a husband into her household, and everyone had a mountain of gossip.
At seventeen, she “made her name in one battle,” and everyone waited for the next spectacle.
At twenty...
Hey, hey!
Have you heard? Qin Baozhu brought home a young man who was barely alive!
[Beautiful and Strong Local Woman × Delicate, Frail Transmigrated Man]
New story, still a farming, food, and slice-of-life novel. The author guarantees this one is absolutely heartwarming and free of awful characters (if there are, they're from other authors and will be taken down soon). It's also a bit silly 🤦 The female lead is incredibly strong and a rich woman, while the male lead is cunning, manipulative, and a bit of a whiny jerk.
4 stars is just for encouragement; I personally don't really deserve it. 1. The article mainly focuses on everyday life, such as how to cook food, how delicious it is, and how to make money through collaborations with various people using one's knowledge and skills. 2. They value their reputation, but the Qin family takes no real action, allowing their neighbors and wealthy locals to slander them.
I'm also giving it 4 stars to encourage you. I've read over 80 chapters so far, and this is the first time I've seen such a laid-back protagonist. He just talks and I don't give him any attention. If you can accept that, this novel is pretty good. The writing is decent, mainly from the male lead's perspective.
It's a rare find—the writing is good, logical, and avoids too many melodramatic plot points.
Having seen so many female time travelers, male time travelers are quite interesting too.
The content is quite novel, so why are there so few comments?
It's pretty good, but I personally feel the female lead has too few scenes.
The writing is very good; it's a simple, everyday farming story with a slow pace, which I really like. It's very healing. There are no ambiguous plots or melodramatic storylines. The male lead just bickers with the female lead's father every day, earns a little money, and spends it. It's not a story with a strong male lead or a strong female lead.
I don't usually read new books because the quality isn't guaranteed. I stumbled upon this one by chance, and it seems pretty good, but I've given it a higher score because I feel the author could write even better works, so I'm deliberately giving the author a higher rating.
Is the female lead's screen time too short?
