   I've read about 70 or 80 farming novels, and I usually only read half of the others before giving up. I generally prefer novels without a romantic pairing, but I only recommend this one. The relationship between the male and female leads in this novel truly captivated me. The male lead's care and love are all in the details, not overly saccharine, and not clichéd. Instead, they embark on a journey together and grow together (one wields power, the other makes money). The male lead's character is fantastic—he's a great cook, intelligent, detail-oriented, strong, aloof yet gentle and restrained. The female lead's character is also great. There's no plot where she saves anyone or tries too hard to impress others and show off her high emotional intelligence. She doesn't force everyone around her to be blindly loyal, and she avoids any of her major flaws. (Second recommended novel, also without a romantic pairing, very popular and good.)
