    I'm recommending these three novels only after reading them all in their entirety, as they perfectly meet the questioner's requirements. Each one features genuine farming scenes. ① Historical fiction + farming: The female lead is a bit simple-minded, and the male lead is a slacker. They marry by chance, and after having a child, the male lead begins to take on responsibilities. They later go through a special period together, supporting each other through the most difficult times (I felt quite sorry for the female lead; I cried while reading). The male lead realizes the importance of the female lead to him and begins his doting husband mode. It's a bit hard to get into at first, but it gets very captivating after reading a bit more. ③ Both the male and female leads are native to the area. The male lead has mild autism, but this only makes him very obedient to his grandmother and even more doting on the female lead. Although the male lead is a bit simple-minded, he is very touching in many ways. The writing style is excellent, very smooth, and although the style is simple, it's incredibly moving. ②The male and female leads are both native to the area. The male lead has battlefield trauma, and the female lead heals him time and time again. The female lead is very insightful, able to grasp the essentials in everything she does, and has a unique way of thinking (especially when someone draws an apple on her body, she interprets it as someone mocking her for not wearing clothes [facepalm]). The male lead's relationship with the female lead is one of accompanying her as she grows, gradually teaching her how to conduct herself in society. It's a mutual journey of redemption.
