    I must read this (1️⃣). 1️⃣ No cheat codes, no space, no time travel, just honest farming and family life. The only downside is that the elders in the family are a bit too kind-hearted, not as ruthless as the third brother. It's a bit frustrating in the beginning, but satisfying later! Also, the romance between the male lead's brother and the female lead is a bit strange, and the paragraph reviews are quite irritating. It's good, the author is a workaholic, updating 10 chapters a day, a slow and steady read. 2️⃣ The female lead transmigrates, no cheat codes, no space. This refers to escaping the struggle in the early stages, and later clearing land, farming, and cultivating crops. The romance is unknown, currently at chapter 243, there's a one-sided crush. The downside is that the female lead had a child before transmigrating, and is a bit of a saint (despite not being well-off herself, she can still adopt more than a dozen boys). 3️⃣ No farming, it's a story about food, business, and family life. A slow and steady read, no downsides so far, good read!

    The protagonist of this farming-themed novel has a portable space containing some clichéd items, such as seeds and a spiritual spring. The protagonist is an excellent cook, has few entanglements with annoying relatives, and the writing is not frustrating, but it's not exactly a wish-fulfillment story either. Those who prefer a more relaxed tone might enjoy this.

    Sisters, today I'm recommending two truly authentic farming novels—these two books are a godsend for farming novel lovers! The plots are realistic, and the farming details are overflowing; I couldn't put them down! 📚💖 1. This book tells the story of a modern traditional Chinese medicine doctor who travels back to ancient times. Using her medical skills and wisdom, she farms and gathers herbs in the mountains, healing the sick and saving lives. The female protagonist not only has to clear land and farm in the deep mountains but also deal with various emergencies, such as bandits and plagues. Her medical skills and farming abilities allow her to gain a foothold in the chaotic world and also find sweet love. 🌿💑 2. This book tells the story of a family who, to escape war, flee to the deep mountains to clear land and farm. They go from having nothing to being self-sufficient, farming, raising chickens and pigs, and living a prosperous life. The farming details in the book are incredibly realistic, making you feel as if you are there, experiencing the joy of labor and the satisfaction of harvest. 🐔🐷 Both of these books are true farming novels, without excessive palace intrigue or family drama, focusing instead on realistic farming life and a warm family atmosphere. If you enjoy farming novels and like watching the protagonist rise from nothing to achieve success through self-reliance, then these two books are definitely not to be missed! Trust me, you'll come back and thank me after you've read them! 😘📖

    "Space Farming" was a title I almost got discouraged by the comments, but thankfully I was listening to an audiobook and only saw them later. I was thinking of asking for more updates, but then I thought better of it and decided to let the book rest for a while. The content was indeed excellent; I listened to it in one go. The interactions between the male and female leads were very sweet and heartwarming, making me really want to continue reading.
