1. 51 穿 Transmigrated to the Deep Mountains: Farming, Foraging for Mushrooms, and Selling Herbal Jelly 穿越深山老林，种田捡菌卖冰粉 Cheng Siyuan橙思源Ancient Romance1.0M WordsCompleted Liu Li Xia transmigrated to a remote mountain valley, where the family had barely a roof over their heads and went hungry every day. To make matters worse, the heavens refused to give her any golden finger at all. Raised under the red flag, she had never imagined hunger could feel so awful. She wanted food. A big bowl of rice. And plenty of meat, too. How could someone who knew nothing about farm work or crops achieve this “great ambition” in another world? 6.1kReads8.9Score522Shelves

   This book doesn't involve hunting in the mountains or selling pig offal. The female protagonist sells chestnuts once in the early part of the story, and later sells tofu, ice jelly, and roast chicken—things that many people would do in modern times. I didn't find it abrupt, and the prices were reasonable. It also doesn't involve any political intrigue or power struggles.

   Without exaggeration, it's my absolute favorite rural romance novel. It's incredibly good, no exaggeration. The male lead is a bit silly but loves his wife very much, and the writing is very delicate. The story is heartwarming; after finishing it, I couldn't focus on anything else. I really enjoy rural period novels, and this one is still irreplaceable. It's just a bit short, so I've reread it many times…

   Judging from the ratings, these are all good books. Let me introduce them: The first one focuses on an ensemble cast, with little emphasis on infrastructure development or farming. I recommend it because of its themes. The second one has a solid plot. I don't read much Western fantasy, but this one is really good. The third one requires not only a good understanding of the plot but also the meaning of classical Chinese texts, which is a bit mentally taxing. However, the author has good literary skills, and I did a lot of research for this one, with annotations in almost every chapter. The plot is indeed very engaging. The fourth one offers a fresh perspective, is easy to read, has a smooth plot, and includes a romantic pairing.

After transmigrating, the female protagonist does the opposite of what's expected, choosing to lend herself to the villain, determined to escape the original plot. During a famine, she uses modern knowledge to find edible food and develop various food storage methods. The first book is about pregnancy followed by love and raising a child, a real-life survival show from the very beginning. The second and third books are about escaping war in a chaotic world and clearing land in the mountains; there are no cheat codes, just relying on the natural resources. The fourth and fifth books are about starting with a cute baby and helping the family get rich; one has a spatial ability, and the other doesn't.
