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?

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.

No System, and not too much face-slapping.

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.
Quiet, Comforting Books That Are Soothing to Read
Really Good Ancient-Era Farming Novels
Looking for stories similar to "The People at the Foot of the Mountain".
Looking for System Stories Focused on Life Skills, Real Farming, and Infrastructure Building (Not Survival)
1. No glaring errors in basic common sense. 2. The protagonist shouldn’t be too much of a bleeding heart. They should act decisively when trouble comes. 3. I’m not saying the protagonist has to be a morally upright, perfectly good person, but please don’t have them act self-righteous while doing the opposite.
Any Good Historical Romance About Everyday Family and Neighborhood Life in an Ancient Town?
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 genre is fine, as the title says. Thanks, everyone. Preferably something where the protagonist helps everyone get rich. No awful people, please, no awful people.
Ancient-Era Rural Life With No Golden Finger
Looking for content similar to Spring Plowing, Autumn Harvest. I love country life, raising chickens, growing vegetables, fruit-scented mountain villages, helping the people around me get rich, everyday family affairs, and a carefree paradise. Starting with nothing and becoming a local gentleman...

It's great! I love reading these kinds of ensemble pieces depicting everyday life in the countryside! Every character is portrayed so realistically! Take Zhao Erya, for example. Young and naive, she married into a poor family. Initially, the description of her developing jealousy of Baochun during her husband's impoverished life made me think she'd become a villain.
I finished reading it on and off~ It's... Well, how should I put it? It's realistic, I guess. The author has really suffered a lot, is that even a fair description? Haha, because the characters' lives are so full of hardship, it really gave me a sense of the capriciousness of fate. But the courage and resilience that grow amidst suffering is also comforting.
I started reading this from another book; it's about everyday life, a gentle, flowing narrative, very vivid and natural, quite down-to-earth. Passing the imperial examinations to become a scholar in ancient times was indeed very difficult, unlike other novels where it's easy to achieve the highest honors in all three levels of the imperial examinations. In the entire Ming Dynasty, spanning nearly 300 years, there were only one or two people who achieved this feat.
I followed the author "Huanxiju" from the beginning and added it to my bookshelf as soon as it started. The author excels at writing these kinds of slice-of-life stories. Each character is given a vibrant life. It's a fantastic farming novel, I love it. I'm still saving up for more.
The author's writing is steady and gentle, depicting the simple and unpretentious life of farmers, full of the warmth of everyday life. The struggle for survival reveals a grounded and positive attitude towards life, and the wisdom of life is savored in interpersonal relationships. The characters are vividly portrayed, with excellent control over nuance.
It's really good. This is the second book by the author I've read. I still can't forget the previous one, "Xi Yue" and "Huan Er". I love novels with harmonious families and everyone working together towards a common goal.
I've read this book before; it's generally very heartwarming and slice-of-life, with a relaxed pace that makes it easy to get into. Now I'm looking for something to read and want to reread it, but I've noticed that many of the female characters don't have names. I hope the author will consider this. I read it again; it's basically a story about a sweet, affectionate wife.
I first read the author's "Daily Life in an Ancient Reconstituted Family," which was very realistic and captivating! I've been following this book closely; the writing is consistently excellent, Bao Chun is fantastic, and the other supporting characters are all distinctive. It's just that there aren't enough updates.
I came from another completed book. I enjoy reading stories with this kind of gentle, everyday life. Author, please update soon! ❤️
The writing is good. It leans towards slice-of-life, the main plot isn't very prominent, and the romance between the male and female leads is quite limited. It's currently being serialized; I wonder if it will take a million words to finish.
