Does Tomato Really Have No Heroines with Happy Families, Wealth, Happiness, and Sunshine?
As the title says, I'm looking for romance. The female lead should have a loving, happy, wealthy family, be doted on, sunny, cheerful, kind, generous, innocent, and adorable. The male lead can be anything. Everyone should be sexually inexperienced. School, showbiz, wealthy-family drama, anything goes.

It's beautiful, subtly romantic, and heartwarming. I hope Yuan Jing is just the child's biological father, not someone trying to take the child from the female lead. After all, he and his ex-wife separated 10 years ago because of low sperm count, and they had a deep bond. I hope he doesn't take away the child or the right to name the child.
The author's skill is excellent; the early chapters have a subtle farming theme, the middle chapters are filled with a strong sense of everyday life, and now that the author has a child, the story has become even more vivid and interesting. What happens next is intriguing. Will it be a family of three, or the current model?
It's a good read; the simple, everyday life is so heartwarming. Author, please keep writing! I can accept the absence of romance. As for whether it's chaste or not, I'm already in my thirties, there's no need to worry about that. As long as the previous relationships are handled cleanly and without being melodramatic, that's fine. 💕
It has a delicate, casual feel, depicting the daily life of a small family, little by little. Although the male lead has been married before and is not chaste, it's not his fault. He can't have children, and he feels guilty, feeling sorry for his parents and ex-wife. Everyone has a difficult past; don't dwell on the past, look forward. (Those looking for chaste couples shouldn't read this!)
Tomato (the author) has no shortage of all kinds of love: forced love, yandere love, and love that grows over time. This book is rather unique, focusing on depicting various aspects of daily life, which I think is great. I hope the later chapters continue to focus on these everyday life scenarios and raising a baby. Reading these kinds of books, although lacking dramatic plots, is really enjoyable. I hope the author doesn't start writing about the parents getting involved in romance. 🤔
I've read the latest chapter and it's full of details that are very relatable to everyday life, especially the part about persimmons—it made my mouth water! I definitely have to buy some persimmons to try this year. The rest of the story will probably focus on developing the romance between the male and female leads, right?
It's a wonderful novel. The male lead has less screen time in the beginning, and the plot focuses more on farming. But the story gets better as the male lead gets more screen time. The little carp is cute, and so is the baby.
It's a good story. I think the two of them can get along well, and it would be great if they became a couple and raised their child together. When the child grows up, they will inherit the family business, and the education they receive growing up with their father will be different. The things that ordinary families and wealthy families have access to and the education they receive are different.
I don't think the male lead is bad, except for his low sperm count. He has a child, and he and the mother will definitely be spending a long time together. I think it's good that they've developed feelings for each other; it'll be better for the child and prevent other supporting male and female characters from appearing. This kind of pastoral storyline suddenly feels a bit boring. Isn't it better to have a solid financial foundation and a peaceful, ordinary life where everyone is doing well?
Tranquil and carefree—that's my feeling after reading it. Although it's about returning to the village to give birth, and the father's identity was unknown (according to everyone), and there's also a younger brother, most stories would spend several chapters depicting village gossip and even conflicts with the sister-in-law.
