Looking for Highly Rated Farming Stories, Rated 9.8 or Above. Righteous Female Leads, Not Doormats
I’ve been reading farming stories lately. Please recommend female-protagonist novels, whether set in modern or ancient times. The female protagonist can have a golden finger, but it shouldn’t be too outrageous. The writing shouldn’t be simplistic, and the plot should be tightly paced.

Any Pure Farming Stories?! Please Help Me Out!
Does anyone have any pure farming stories? The heroine can be any age, even if she transmigrates into an old granny! If there’s a male lead, I don’t want him to be an emperor, general, or chancellor. I want someone with an ordinary background! Pure farming, please.

Imperial Exam Novel About a Poor Scholar: Male Lead With No Connections, No Transmigration, No System, One Female Lead

I'm giving myself five stars as encouragement! Keep it up! I enjoy stories that unfold gradually, and if you don't have anything too extreme, this is a good place to kill time in your spare moments. 🤭🤭🤭🤭
I've only read about fifty chapters, but I'll give it a good review first. I really like it. Both the male and female leads are straightforward; at least so far, there's none of the tedious, drawn-out stuff I dislike—they're already married, and there's no testing each other, misunderstandings, amnesia, or any other nonsense. It's the kind of story I like.
This is a time-travel novel. Although the female protagonist uses her modern knowledge to start her own business, it's all small-scale operations, and she earns her money little by little through hard work, getting up early and working late. There aren't any truly awful characters; the people around her are mostly kind-hearted, and life gradually gets better for everyone.
The story is rather mundane, but it falls into some clichés: the male lead inevitably becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, and the female lead inevitably gives birth to twins. Was doing business really that easy in ancient times? Look at me now, sitting in my shop watching people count on the street—I'm so envious!
A heartwarming and slow-paced farming story with good writing; I'm giving it five stars as encouragement.
This book focuses on family relationships and the female protagonist's tofu business. The romantic relationship between the male and female leads is easily overlooked. The consummation of their marriage isn't even mentioned until the very last few chapters.
Nice 1. The female lead was sold, but there were no sudden, messy agreements or promises about divorce or marriage. There were no age-related commitments or plans for consummation; their relationship developed naturally as they grew older, leading to marriage and children. 2. No bad romantic prospects, not a single one, it's so great!
Highly recommended! A very good book. Compared to other novels of the same genre, it's more rigorous, with a warm family atmosphere and very few truly awful characters. Whether it's the main character or supporting characters, the focus is genuinely on hard work and perseverance. The writing is good, and it's quite funny too! 🤭
It's a great read! It's down-to-earth and unpretentious. I really like both the male and female leads' personalities. The male lead is finally not disabled, and the female lead is finally not a doctor anymore. There aren't any awful characters; it's a very heartwarming story. It just ended too quickly; I didn't get enough!
The female lead is incredibly capable, able to make tofu, brew wine, and even manufacture glass and soap—it's a bit of an exaggeration!
