See allAncient-Era Farming Stories About Buying Servants and Building a Cozy, Comfortable Life
Any genre is fine. I just want a story where the protagonist can build houses, buy land, and hire servants in ancient times, then live a happy, cozy life as a little landlord. I especially love when they hire servants who feel they've found a wonderful master! Fellow readers, please send me recommendations.

Your ancient farming story is among the best-written; most others are just flashy, incoherent, and absurd! It's truly therapeutic... And one thing I want to praise the author for is the excellent pacing!
It's a good read. Although it's a farming story, farming makes a lot of money, which is great. I just don't like how it always uses "guan" (a unit of currency) to describe money. Silver is also in circulation. A few hundred guan is a few hundred taels of silver. Only a fool would insist on collecting those heavy copper coins. 😂
I haven't finished reading it yet, but I'll give it a rating first. Overall, it's okay; the plot flows smoothly, and the agricultural scenes are reasonable and rich. The only problem is that the author seems to struggle with handling interpersonal relationships.
This is a really good farming novel. I love how the whole family works together without any messy or complicated plots. The male and female leads are also very normal, unlike other novels where they don't consummate their marriage or have children.
Aside from the female lead being too loose-fisted, some prices were outrageous. There are no other problems.
Looks good, looks good, looks good! But it's so busy, haha. That's how farming is in the countryside. You're busy all year round, with no free time and endless things to do.
Finally found a genuine farming story! I don't know why I wrote about rebirth, and why I had to bring that connection into it. 🙂
The writing is superb. The pace of life and the personalities of the supporting characters are vividly portrayed, bringing to life a series of ideal scenarios. I can almost picture the scenes, the family atmosphere is incredibly warm and loving, and the difficult situations are resolved swiftly. There are no elders interfering under the guise of "it's for your own good," and I saw a character who wasn't swayed by family ties.
Twins? I feel cheated 🥺, but I really enjoy the rest of our peaceful life 😍
This is a very good ancient Chinese farming novel. It reads smoothly without any truly awful characters, and the female lead isn't a saint; she acts according to normal logic. The only pity is the lack of a daughter; the fourth son is so desperate for his sister that he even tries to take her home. There aren't many truly awful characters in the story; everything is just human nature.
