    It's a farming novel, but the author's ending felt rushed. I only ever read the first half when I reread it. I was constantly worried the female lead would die during the beginning, and I didn't enjoy the later chapters; they felt drawn out. Overall, I'd rate it around 8.3.

    This should also be considered a farming novel. After Xu Xia died suddenly at work, she transmigrated to the cultivation world. After living an ordinary life in the cultivation world for 300 years, she transmigrated back to the modern world due to an accident. This time, she decided to quit her annoying job and return to the countryside to cultivate immortality and farm at the same time.

    This is a post-apocalyptic farming novel, focusing heavily on the satisfying act of gathering plants. You collect self-sown vegetables from abandoned villages, various crops, and even dig up fruit trees to take home. There's a wood-based superpower that can accelerate growth, guaranteeing transplant survival. There are also adorable calves with big, endearing eyes! However, the world-building is quite extensive, featuring robots, the secrets of spiritual power, the truth behind the world's destruction, parasitism, and various other interesting concepts! Definitely worth following!

    🔥Highly recommend! The first two books are both farming and raising children series. The children are initially afraid of and hate the female lead, but through her constant farming and child-raising efforts, these villainous little brats become protective of their mother. The third book tells the story of the original male and female leads absorbing the female lead's luck to become extremely wealthy and powerful. After transmigrating, the female lead refuses to accept this, slapping the face of the scumbag husband, kicking over the ungrateful children, and becoming the most noble legitimate princess, her luck skyrocketing!
