See allLooking for Good Farming Stories With Smart Characters
Why do farming novels always have princes, heirs, and royal sons? Can't we have something cozier, without a prince or heir as the male lead, and without him constantly having to save people?
Pure Farming Stories, No Business Ventures from the Start
Ancient Setting, Cozy, Everyday Life, and Farming
Are there any warm, slice-of-life farming stories where someone transmigrates to ancient times? Modern settings are fine too. No wars for supremacy and no raising armies.
Farming and Homesteading Novels
Looking for an ancient farming story without too many awful relatives. The male lead shouldn't constantly be a prince, general, or crown prince or anything like that. I'd like a warm, peaceful story about ordinary rural life. Please recommend one if you know any.
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.
Looking For Addictive Farming Novels, Please!
Preferably without a pocket dimension.
Looking for Genuine Farming Novels. No Pretending to Farm While Not Growing a Single Grain
Recommendations for Ancient-Era Farming Novels Rated Above 9.9, with a Light Style and Sweet Romance
Looking for an ancient farming romance. The male lead should be rich and handsome; the female lead’s looks don’t matter, but she should preferably be clever. I want a lighthearted, funny, sweet story. Please make it sickeningly sweet, thanks!
Women Cultivating Immortality, as Ruthless as Male Leads, from Qi Refining to Tribulation Transcendence
Looking for cultivation novels. I'm in a reading slump. Thanks!

Farming Stories: Picking Mushrooms and Foraging for Wild Greens
Are there any pure farming stories? I like reading about a couple picking mushrooms and wild vegetables and hunting every day. I don't want them to farm for half the story and then expand their business across the whole county or prefecture.
I've Been Reading for 15+ Years, and This Has the Best-Written Female Characters I've Ever Seen
I want something similar to "When the Game Invaded".

Farming Novels, the Real Deal
Are there any period pieces like The Tender, Gentle Wife of the 1980s? I want something realistic, without a golden finger, with a vivid and detailed portrayal of the era. Please recommend a true farming story.
Please Recommend Pure Farming Stories: No Politics, a Normal Rise to Wealth, Nothing Too Far-Fetched
If it's a transmigration story, I hope the heroine doesn't keep doing things that are way ahead of her time, like giving someone artificial respiration.
Slow-Paced Stories About Farming, Stability, and a Peaceful Life
The heroine lives in the mountains, supports herself, grows crops and vegetables, and goes up the mountain to hunt for wild game. She has no family, and ideally the male lead is on his own too. No awful relatives or female rivals. I especially love stories about a happy, peaceful life. Maybe it's because life is already so exhausting.

Looking for stories similar to "The People at the Foot of the Mountain".
Please Recommend Farming Stories You Can Finish 100%
Cozy, with an ensemble cast, plenty of character dialogue, and less narration 🥰
Stories Where the Female Lead Has a Pocket Dimension and Doesn't Tell Anyone
You can never know what people are really thinking... The heroine can help others, but she shouldn’t tell anyone about it. Never test human nature! Any kind of pocket-space or System story with a golden finger is fine, as long as the protagonist has some brains 🉑️ I’ve been in a reading slump for days, please help!
Looking for a Story About Transmigrating into Ancient Times as an Ordinary Person, Carefully Building Up Strength
An ancient-era transmigration story. I don't want a mindless power fantasy. I've always read stories about princesses, princes, and crown princes, so I'd like to see the everyday lives of ordinary people.
Realistic Farming Stories, Pure Farming Fiction
Nothing exaggerated or lacking common sense! For example, characters casually growing ten thousand mu of farmland themselves: just how many square meters would that be?
Looking for a Normal Story About Transmigrating to Ancient Times to Farm and Raise Livestock
Stories about transmigrating to ancient times and farming, raising livestock, chickens, and pigs.
A Selfish Female Lead Who Only Cares About Living Well and Doesn't Meddle in Other People's Business
I want to read books similar to "After Becoming the Worst Old Man in a Famine-Escape Novel, I Gave Up." The protagonist should become the worst kind of person after transmigrating into the worst kind of character. They should not want to do any work at all, refuse to save anyone, seize their siblings' resources, and take their parents' affection for themselves. They only care about living well. Something along these lines, please recommend some.

Absolutely gorgeous! A woman should know her place. Don't be a saint and casually reveal your secrets to the ancients, only to make yourself miserable. This is totally my cup of tea! It's a pretty good story, but the time-traveling woman is completely incompetent. She's like a pig. In a strange place, you should immediately prepare for life. Go see how female spies survive!
It's really good. If you keep it up, this book will definitely be a 9 or higher. It has that kind of understated yet engaging feel 😎 Some books are bland like a diary entry, but this one isn't. Definitely worth recommending. I've seen many people object to the male lead's alleged impurity; I suggest the author add that to the synopsis. Personally, I don't mind, since the female lead is just an ordinary person. And the male lead is already that age...
I must praise this novel. It's simple and unexaggerated, unlike those typical time-traveling stories where the female protagonist acts all high and mighty, capable of anything. She lives a quiet, ordinary life, with plenty of resources but no trouble. It's rare to find a novel where the protagonist is clear-headed, content, and lives a peaceful life, satisfied as long as her children are successful.
It's well-written, depicting the ordinary lives of ordinary people, rather than the stereotypical tales of emperors, generals, or refugees fleeing for their lives. The author avoids excessive length, presenting the short stories clearly and vividly. Excellent.
This is an ancient version of "Transmigrated into the Stepping Stone of the Scheming Heroine," with all the characters and plot elements copied over. I love Xu Jing'an so much, and I have to admire the author's ability to adapt the story.
The writing is concise and the story has its own unique style. It's a good read.
The way the female protagonist was treated from childhood is a microcosm of how women have been treated in China for thousands of years, and I doubt many families still treat girls this way even today.
It's quite good. At first, I thought it would be a formulaic story, the kind where someone climbs to a very high social status, but it turns out that the detective role is actually quite good, and the writing style is very comfortable.
The female protagonist transmigrates to another world, possessing a storage space and a spiritual spring, and knowing the original owner's life trajectory. She earns money by gathering herbs and making candles, and hoards goods to nourish her body. She seizes back the original owner's opportunities, avoids her misfortunes, avenges her, and marries a high-ranking constable far from her family. She has two sons and a daughter, living a simple, peaceful, and joyful life.
It's quite nice, very simple, and it's good that it doesn't have the arrogance and conceit typical of modern people.
