Ancient-Era Farming Stories About Buying Servants and Building a Cozy, Comfortable Life
Any genre is fine. I just want a story where the protagonist can build houses, buy land, and hire servants in ancient times, then live a happy, cozy life as a little landlord. I especially love when they hire servants who feel they've found a wonderful master! Fellow readers, please send me recommendations.
Ancient Setting, Imperial Exams, Not from a Poor Family, No System, Transmigration
The protagonist should have sound values, pass the imperial examinations, and devote himself to serving the people. He should be decisive while still considering the greater good. One female lead only. He should take revenge without harming the innocent. When discussing poetry, he shouldn’t come across as pretentious. Success should be hard-won: others shouldn’t be crushed by a cheat just because they’ve studied for ten years. The story should explore big ideas.

Transmigrating into the Family of a Landowner, a Small Household, or a Minor Official
I want to read something like "The Transmigrated Female Clerk Becomes a Prison Guard". I don't want a heroine who starts out with absolutely nothing. I'd prefer her to have a little family wealth, and ideally for it to be a food-focused story.

To be honest, this book is a bit historical. From our current perspective, this is too cruel and bloody. But in ancient China, history was originally an era of human cannibalism.
The audience of this book should not be all old people. You can add some fun points and conflicts as appropriate, because younger readers generally don't like chapters like Machiavellianism. If you can combine the power strategies and fun points, the author will definitely become a god.
It's a good book. The author has done a lot of research on the ancient local government affairs. The writing is not bad. Please support me. But I will withdraw it first. It's not because it's not good, it's just that I don't like it. But the book is still good.
The story is told well, but the word count is too few. The story written in the background of a farming family is indeed somewhat attractive and relatively close to reality, which is indeed good.
The stories come one after another, and I don't know where the author got his ideas. The pace is fast and it's very enjoyable to read. When I read the article, I felt that he was a bit complicit. It was either the "protagonist can be bad, but the protagonist can only pretend to be bad, and it is for some righteous cause. He is an undercover agent." Everyone in the article is a product of the times. The character description is very profound. The ending is often unexpected. It is usually unexpected. Only later will you sigh along the way, "This is human nature." This article writes about the "negative" aspects of human nature, but this is a small character and has a strong sense of empathy. I haven't finished reading it, because I'm afraid the author will change his identity and the story will collapse. I've finished reading. Tomato rarely finishes reading. I watched this for a while and didn't want to watch it, but I picked it up again after a while. The kind that you watch again and again and then give up, but finally finish it It writes about human nature and opponents, and the analysis is very good. After reading it, I feel that life is hopeless. At many turning points, I will think "what should I do, what should I do if I encounter this kind of thing", and the solutions are all unexpected.
It's very well written. I've seen it on the list several times before but never clicked on it. Maybe it's because I'm uneducated. When I first read the title, I didn't know what the profession was, but today I clicked on it and read about ten chapters. It's really good, and the writing is very good.
Very nice, I don't know why the rating is not high [rolls eyes]
It's very good. The subject matter is novel. It's not a fast-food novel. It doesn't have the latter's plot of being invincible in ancient times. It's not the Holy Mother. The plot is rationalized. Come on, I hope that the old routines of the past will not be used.
The writing is wonderful. The ancient society described is very consistent with the feudal society of eating human blood steamed buns.
It's interesting, there are microscopic true portrayals of cruel officials deceiving and exploiting the common people in the Ming Dynasty, there are anecdotes about rivers and lakes in Tang Dynasty legends, Golden Lotus, Sichun, etc. Are paying homage to the four great classics... Including the survival rules of the lower-level bureaucrats and ordinary people, anecdotes about rivers and lakes, fantasy knights, and unconventional novels. I will keep up with them. The author always uses Mr. Lin's behavior to remind and expressly remind readers that they should reward generously! Ha ha ha ha
