   1. The female protagonist transmigrates to another world. Her family is warm and harmonious with no awful characters. There is a male lead (but with limited screen time and he marries into the family). It's not a wish-fulfillment story; it's slow-paced. The female protagonist's family lives in the mountains. Initially, they make "fairy tofu" (a type of jelly made from green jelly leaves) and sell it outside the mountains. Their prices are reasonable, reflecting reality as they gradually improve their family's situation and eventually lead the village to prosperity. It's not a wish-fulfillment story where you make money instantly; it's best read slowly. I followed the serialization daily. 2. The female protagonist transmigrates to another world with a mentally challenged older brother and three younger brothers. They settle in a village full of military households. There are no cheat codes or awful characters. The older brother is incredibly strong but only remembers his parents telling him to take care of his younger siblings, and he's never had enough to eat. The female protagonist is wary of people, not a saint, and not omnipotent. She gradually introduces her new ideas and relies on the villagers to help them prosper. It's a truly realistic "farming" story—super good!

Highly recommended, go read it!!!
