    This book is already very good. The female lead is a maid who is framed at the beginning and punished by the mistress, sold cheaply for a mere one or two taels of silver to the male lead. On her deathbed, she awakens her spatial ability and access to a spiritual spring. Later, to repay a debt of gratitude, she marries the male lead and lives with him. The male lead is lame and has a family of elderly, weak, and disabled members. To improve their lives, the two work together, starting from a street stall and gradually building their wealth! It's very heartwarming. The male lead has superhuman strength, and the female lead is skilled in cooking and embroidery. I especially love the scenes where the entire family comes to help her cook—it's so heartwarming and uplifting, leaving you feeling warm inside. A truly wonderful read!

    If you want a sweet romance, choose "Reclaiming Wasteland in the Deep Mountains to Escape the Chaotic World"; if you love realistic farming, go for "Eldest Sister Relies on Mountain Goods"; if you want a satisfying face-slapping experience, read "Marrying into the Deep Mountains"; and if you want a system-based survival novel, choose "A Barn Full of Meat in a Famine Year". All four are treasure troves of farming novels, so you can buy them without worrying about disappointment!
