Synopsis

This story follows Chen Nianjia, also known as Lin Wangxing, as he struggles with his dual identity after being abducted for fourteen years. Kidnapped as a child, he grows up in a mountain village under the name Lin Wangxing and marries Chunxing, the girl he calls his “older sister,” yet he never lets go of a scrap of paper bearing his home address. On the morning after his wedding, he flees with the village’s fertilizer money and heads for Qingchuan, the hometown he has longed for in his dreams.

Yet fourteen years of village life have left their mark on his heart. Though he is reunited with his hometown, the kindness of his adoptive parents and Chunxing’s warmth remain with him like shadows. Stranger still, the scar on his ankle grows hot whenever the moon is full, and mysterious markings appear on the yellowed scrap of paper. These fantastical signs seem to point to a deeper, fated bond hidden behind his abduction.

As he agonizes over choosing between two “homes,” and the boundary between reality and memory begins to blur, is his eventual return the beginning of redemption, or the end of a closed loop of fate?

Completed Short Farming Stories with a Rugged Male Lead and a Sweet, Delicate Female Lead

I want a pure farming story. I don't want the male lead suddenly turning out to be a prince, lord, or general halfway through, followed by a succession struggle or factional politics. I'm so tired of that. It has to be complete, preferably sweet and romantic. Short stories, please. I'm too lazy to read long ones 🥀

Any Good Novels Set in the Old Days?

I'd like a story set in a Beijing courtyard neighborhood, but the protagonist shouldn't live in their courtyard or get involved with them. No rural send-down plot, either.
