   A rare find in Tomato's male-oriented fiction: a genuine farming story, not one of those pseudo-farming tales that start with planting a single scallion and then descend into twilight. No troublesome relatives, no titles or honors, no rebellions, no triple crowning of the imperial examinations, no unification of the world—just a simple, warm, and peaceful daily life, striving to provide a good life for the whole family. For those who enjoy farming stories. 7

Her only regret was having no family connections. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself transported from the present to the past, from female to male, becoming a very poor farm child in the Northern Ming Dynasty, a period not recorded in history. The good news was that she was no longer an orphan; the bad news was that she was very poor.
