I Made a Fortune Growing Flowers with a Compendium

[Farming + food + everyday life + feel-good story + building wealth + adorable pets + collection guide + card draws] The remote village of Huaxi has grown flowers for generations, but its economy is in decline due to a lack of distinctive products, and young people are leaving in droves. Lin Xi graduated with a degree in horticulture from a prestigious university and spent three years enduring grueling 996 hours at a trendy flower shop in the big city. To care for her injured grandmother, she resolutely quits and returns to her hometown. By chance, she touches an ancient hand drum at home and unexpectedly awakens the long-lost Flower Maiden bloodline in her family, binding herself to her own Flower Spirit Compendium. A companion artifact that resonates with her soul, it contains vast knowledge of flowers and mysterious rewards. At the same time, Qing Xuan, the drum’s spirit, awakens as well. This arrogant young man may be sharp-tongued and stubborn, but he’s fiercely protective of her, and the two press forward side by side as he unwittingly flirts with her. With the Flower Maiden’s deep understanding of flowers, the rare varieties and cultivation techniques provided by the Flower Spirit Compendium, and Qing Xuan’s help, Lin Xi transforms her hometown’s flower business into a thriving enterprise. She grows hydrangeas in a sea of colors, each bloom bigger than a person’s head, turning the village into a filming location for a hit youth idol drama and making it an overnight sensation online. She cultivates a wisteria sea stretching for miles, drawing countless famous cosplayers to take photos. She creates a colorful, Monet-inspired flower field that becomes a must-visit location for wedding photography. She even grows roses with a unique fragrance, becoming the exclusive supplier to a top overseas perfume brand. Lin Xi grows from an ordinary village girl into a world-renowned Queen of Flowers. She not only leads her small hometown village onto the international stage, but also finds love with Qing Xuan, the spirit who protects her.
