No AI, entirely handmade [farming + food + putting bullies in their place + country living + building wealth + all male love interests are devoted]
The truth of life: People with nothing to lose fear nothing. Fight like your life depends on it, and never put up with being wronged.
Liu Xu, a lowly wage slave who works herself to the bone, accidentally transmigrates to ancient times. Sold by human traffickers, she fights her way to freedom and gets a complete marriage package, successfully putting down roots.
But this household lives on thin soup and wild greens every day. Liu Xu works so hard she can barely pass stool, and there are two sick people to care for, too.
She kicks the nasty neighbors and takes on crooked merchants.
Every day, Liu Xu thinks about what needs doing; every night, she dreams about it. The next morning, she gets to work: improving the fields, making seasonings, pressing oil, gathering herbs, and cooking delicious food. Before long, the whole family is living the idyllic rural life they've always wanted.
Though there are still a few men… no, oxen for plowing and people to do the work.
All the hard work at the start is so she can lie flat and enjoy country life later.
Guan Hesheng: “I'm strong and good with words. I'll handle the fields and the business. You just lie back and relax.”
Lin Jianshan: “I'm just a humble carpenter, but I've got this. You come up with the ideas, and I'll do the work.”
Xie Yanbai: “Big sister, you're amazing!”
…
P.S. A cozy story. The family won't betray her, and this isn't a story about her rescuing them from poverty. The whole family works hard together. There are some twists along the way, but she absolutely won't put up with being wronged.
(Fictional setting. No need to nitpick the dynasties, plants, ingredients, and so on.)
