Looking for Stories About Ordinary People, Street Life, and Rural Life in Ancient Times
No harems or inner-court stories with emperors, princes, princess consorts, or the like later on. I just want stories about ordinary little people.
Laid-Back Farming, Nothing Complicated or Chaotic
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?
Any Stories Where the Female Lead Transmigrates into a Maid? The Honest, Dutiful Kind!!
Looking for something like The Wealthy Little Maid. Something with a pocket dimension and lots of stockpiling to satisfy my hoarding tendencies would be perfect (*☻-☻*)!!
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.
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.

Looking 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?
A Calm, Ordinary Slice of Life
Just an ordinary, peaceful life in a warm little home.
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.

Maid Stories About the Senior Maid by the Old Madam's Side
Nothing where the protagonist catches some big shot's eye. I just want a genuine maid novel, where she either stays a maid her whole life or buys her freedom and goes home. No one falling for her, just a pure maid novel.
Life in the Water Towns of Jiangnan: Family Life and Everyday Dramas

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.

At the beginning, I wanted to say, isn't this well written? Why didn't it get a score of 7? As I read on, well, the low score is not unreasonable. Although I started skipping reading after reaching chapter 200, the most uncharacteristic thing about the whole story is the male and female protagonists. Aunt Ji Er is the most chosen heroine in the whole story. The troublemaker, the sister-in-law, the devil who helps the brother, she can't be screwed but she will always be forgiven. She is a female character with extremely good luck. There is no sarcastic mother-in-law, but a husband with a bodhisattva heart who always loves his wife. After making countless mistakes, watching his niece being sold, and about to be sold by his parents for the second time, his brother-in-law descended from the sky and rescued Aunt Ji again, bringing her back to the whole family for a happy ending 💕 Really refreshing life. 💕 Miss Jiang was also miserable. She found out near the end that her husband had an extramarital affair, and her son was almost sold by Green Tea's cousin, who had an extramarital affair with a human trafficker. I was bored and reading, so I kept skipping to the end. The writing is not bad, but the characters of the male and female protagonists can be said to be unmemorable after watching it. On the contrary, the characters of the excellent supporting characters make people want to continue reading. It's not a great novel. At least the heroine of the novel won't be slapped by her sister-in-law and still feel sorry for her sister-in-law who needs to be punished.
The article is well written, but I don't agree with the plot. From my personal point of view, the second sister-in-law Ji acted like that and made trouble, and she always said she would be severely punished but not punished. Then Ji's mother always talked about separation and said that the second sister-in-law Ji was a family troublemaker, but she didn't really separate the family. It made me feel frustrated and excited to watch it. If you like short stories about homely knowledge and have a good attitude, you can read it. If you like refreshing articles and quick words, I think it can be a lightning protection (personal opinion, not specific)
The article is generally very nice. The author always gets the name wrong, but it does not affect reading and recommendation. There is no particularly good relative, just Sister-in-law Ji, but Brother Ji is still sensible and has a soft ear.
Reading the whole story, it feels very real, with Gu Xiaoyu as the main line, starting from when she returns home, step by step, not only making her own life better and better, but also subtly affecting the people of her husband's family. It is not a cool article, but it is more credible and readable. There is no golden finger or forward thinking. I chose the right family for my husband very smartly. Then accumulate little by little, and finally live an ideal life.
Five-star reviews, a short story about farming. Life slowly gets better with years of hard work. These are the good days that ordinary people look forward to. I think the articles on Tomato cannot be judged by their ratings. There are many with ratings of 9 or above. You can know the ending just by reading the beginning, so now I like to look for novels with ratings between 7 and 8.
Wasn't it 2 taels that were robbed? Later it was said that it was more than 100 taels!
I feel that the author is not sensitive to numbers, and there will be too many differences in the future. The switching of surnames in the article is a bit confusing, and I can't figure out whose family it is, but it's all innocuous. Generally speaking, it's okay. Ordinary life is full of happiness, which makes people want to read more. I hope the author's next one will be better, come on.
A farming novel worth reading. There are no cheats or cool points. The pace is slow but full of fireworks. The characters are real and down-to-earth. It is suitable for friends who like slow-paced and healing reading~
The family is separated. I haven't seen it for a long time. The heroine is pregnant and earns 30% of the money she earns from embroidery. She gives 30% to her family. She just wants to separate the family quickly.
I haven't finished it yet, it's good to watch, the warm life of common people. Make a mark first, read and then comment.
