Synopsis

[Ancient Setting, Farming, System, Transmigration, Middle-Aged Comeback, Country Cooking, Building Wealth, Alternate History, Historical What-Ifs, Lighthearted Comedy, Rural Life]

A realistic look at traditional village farming, with illustrations throughout. Discover traditional farm tools and follow crops through their different stages of growth and harvest. A heartwarming story of everyday life and a family working hard together.

Chen Yimin transmigrates to an ancient farming village and becomes the family’s breadwinner, with elders to care for and children to raise. With the whole household on the verge of ruin, his Family-Raising System awakens.

Starting from the worst possible circumstances, he single-handedly holds his storm-tossed family together.

So what if he’s down on his luck in middle age?

He turns his life around from the depths of despair, starting by saving a wealthy young lady from drowning and paying off a landowner’s daughter’s debt.

First he scavenges and gathers firewood, then repairs the dilapidated house. Next, he buys and sells goods for a profit to help cover expenses, builds a new home, and puts up a grand courtyard…

Through every season and every meal, he works the land with his feet firmly planted. In the end, he leads the whole village out of poverty, takes a wife and concubines, and carves out a world of his own.

Ancient-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.

The Protagonist Is an Older Man or an Elderly Person, Anything but a Teenager

Every protagonist in Tomato's novels seems to be a young man, and I'm getting tired of it. Are there any novels with a tough older guy as the protagonist? Any genre is fine, though a realistic post-apocalyptic setting would be ideal. 🤔

Looking for Male-Oriented Farming Novels

I mainly like historical stories about developing agriculture, becoming a great landowner, and doing business. It took forever to find a few that weren't misleadingly packaged, and they all turned out to be System stories... I don't mind a golden finger, as long as it's not too outrageous. Please recommend some farming novels, whether fantasy, cultivation, or historical.

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.

Looking for books like "Dream of the Golden Tower". Only when people reach a certain age do they come to understand some things. But there are also questions that remain hard to make sense of. After reading "Dream of the Golden Tower" (Tomato’s alternate title is "The Rise of a Banking Executive"), maybe some things will make sense...
