    I highly recommend this book! It's not about fleeing famine, it's slow-paced, realistic, and has a gentle, enduring feel. The story features a rugged hunter who dotes on his wife, a charming and intelligent female lead, and a heartwarming slice-of-life romance. It's a slice-of-life farming story with realistic character portrayals. The female lead even possesses a spirit pet space and leads her husband's family to prosperity, overcoming famine years. Later, the couple moves to the capital, where the male lead becomes an official while the female lead secretly runs a business, making a fortune. Their twins have also grown up and are causing quite a stir in the capital! It's a really good read!
