    Reader note

    This is a cultivation and farming novel where the protagonist truly farms in the mountains. The female lead is invincible from the start, and there's no romance or fighting. She guards her immortal mountain, farms, and raises furry creatures. She's uninterested in the changing world and is just a spectator.
