   The fourth book is an underrated farming novel. Although the rating isn't high, it's really good and addictive. Both the male and female leads are reborn and rise step by step from a mountain village to a county, then to a prefecture, and finally to the capital. Both are skilled in their own ways, excelling not only in farming but also in martial arts. "Medicine in the Mountains" is also good. The female lead transmigrates to ancient times, becoming the villainous aunt in a male-oriented novel, and is about to be killed. Instead of trying to reform the male lead during the war, she abandons him and hides in the mountains, starting her life by gathering medicinal herbs, clearing land, farming, and raising wild boars as pets. "The Eldest Sister of the Farming Family, I Became Rich Through Farming and Mushroom Gathering" is also very interesting. After being reborn, she becomes rich through mushroom gathering and farming. "Chang Huan's Eatery" is also very good; the food descriptions are absolutely amazing. The female lead runs an eatery, and adults who arrive early love to eat there. Although the dishes are simple, they always bring surprising deliciousness. She used her restaurant business to gather information and evidence that led to the destruction of her family, and she was also highly skilled in martial arts. During their daily meals, Minister Pei gradually became interested in her. The third book is about a modern female PhD who transmigrates to ancient times, happily giving birth to five children and losing her husband. Without support from her maternal family, and with her in-laws being bloodsuckers, she rises to prominence through her medical skills and farming, becoming a happy mother-in-law by the age of 40. This book was also somewhat overshadowed by its poor ratings.
