The thatched hut was drafty. Her younger siblings were so hungry they were chewing on their fingers, her mother wept endlessly, and her father had fainted in bed after giving the family his share of the food. This was an obscure village somewhere in Lingnan. She was the eldest daughter of a poor family, so destitute that even the mice had moved out. But Zhou Ling’s mind held the world of more 19Reads—Score—Shelves

    A strong recommendation from someone from Lingnan! This is a time-travel farming novel with no cheat codes. It features ingredients like five-finger peach, herbal tea, and later on, dried tangerine peel and cardamom, haha! I'd appreciate any suggestions, and mutual reviews and likes are welcome!

The hero’s leg injury will heal, but he can’t walk at first. 3. The side couple’s setup is similar to the “ge’er” trope: they’re two men. If that bothers you, please don’t read.

    The first book features a female protagonist with wood-based superpowers, which she uses to nourish the land and seeds. The book describes planting methods and harvesting scenes (PS: the anime adaptation is also very good). The second book begins with the male and female protagonists divorcing, then getting into a car accident on their way to the divorce and transmigrating together. After transmigrating, they face a famine, separate their family, migrate south, clear land, farm, and start a business, leading the Qi family to prosperity. The third book is also quite good, leaning more towards food and crime-solving than farming, although the crime-solving aspect isn't very prominent. Those who like two male leads might want to check it out (PS: the first book is the one I'm currently updating [laughs][laughs][laughs]).
