    It's not about farming or anything like that. The female lead is a lucky charm who originally lived in modern times but was later transported into a book. Every character in the story is well-developed, and most importantly, the plot is incredibly sweet. Unlike most books where all the female characters fall for the male lead, this one doesn't have that problem. The values ​​in the story are very positive. This is my favorite book.
