After I Transmigrated, All I Wanted Was to Farm

Blurb:

Ji Zheng is an orphan who grew up eating meals provided by the neighbors. After scraping together enough to finish university, he can finally give back to the people who helped him.

One day, he transmigrates after binding to a farming System, and becomes a poor scholar in some dynasty.

His little sister is so skinny the wind could knock her over, and his family is so poor they eat tree bark.

Heavens, do you have to make things this hard for me? Why am I still struggling after transmigrating?

As an outstanding agriculture graduate, could this count as a job placement after graduation? This is the perfect fit for my expertise!

He casually takes in a strong new friend, and the two of them start farming.

This friend isn’t just strong, he’s also... very easy on the eyes.

From then on, Ji Zheng improves farm tools, grows crops, does business, and builds greenhouses. His frail little sister gets healthier, and even the cat gets fat and glossy.

With rewards from the System, Ji Zheng leads every household in the village to prosperity.

Life gets better and better, and the three people and one cat live in comfort.

Then one day, his new friend disappears.

When they meet again, his friend is dressed in a prince’s robe and turns out to be the famous Prince Jue, the commander-in-chief!

Lu Guanchao stands behind him with a retinue of guards, his face looking even colder than before.

What, Prince Jue is here to propose!

Ji Zheng cries out in dismay. “I treated you with all my heart, and you had your eye on my sister?”

What, Prince Jue wants to marry Ji Zheng himself?!

Ji Zheng’s mouth twitches. “...”

Lu Guanchao says, “You accepted my token of love. Why are you pretending you don’t remember?”

Ji Zheng wipes the sweat from his forehead. “You mean that jade pendant?”

He thought it was payment for lodging.

-

At Lu Guanchao’s birth, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau declared that he was destined to be a solitary star. From then on, everyone hated and feared him.

Until the day he got lost in the mountains and met an extraordinary man.

They say Prince Jue is infamous, and even looking at him will bring bad luck.

But Ji Zheng says, “You’re handsome. You’d be perfect for farm work,” and casually treats him like an old friend.

Because of those words, hoeing fields, hauling manure, chopping firewood, and every other filthy, exhausting job all become his responsibility.

Yet Lu Guanchao never complains.

Content warnings:

I know my writing isn’t good. This is a fictional setting, inspired by a hodgepodge of things, and the golden finger solves everything.

Both leads are strong, devoted to each other from beginning to end. There’s no forced marriage, and the romance takes precedence over the plot.

Farming in the early chapters, construction and development later, with lots of everyday moments and the occasional wild turn.

The author is an idiot illiterate, so if you insult me, you can’t insult the characters, okay? TVT

Here’s a preview of my upcoming story. Kisses~ Woof, woof, I’m a simp, so what?

[The whole story is already written, so it won’t be abandoned~]

The renowned general Bai Manchuan has won countless battles. While accompanying the Emperor on a trip to Qiantang, he falls in love at first sight with Rong Xun, the son of his political enemy.

He shamelessly follows him around, pesters him, and throws away his achievements to force him into marriage.

After they wed, Bai Manchuan tries to please him in every way, indulging his every whim and giving him the stars along with the moon. He helps him seize power, builds up his reputation, and does every dirty deed imaginable for him.

When Rong Xun curls his lips and softly calls, “Manchuan,” Bai Manchuan goes “Moo!” and is filled with energy, willingly becoming his workhorse.

No matter how much people mock him behind his back, Bai Manchuan sincerely believes Rong Xun likes him at least a little.

Then Rong Xun casually asks for a divorce.

Bai Manchuan dies by suicide, consumed by resentment.

When he opens his eyes again, he’s back on the day he fell in love with Rong Xun at first sight. Bai Manchuan resolves to stay far away from him. Whoever gives in is a dog!

But Rong Xun glances his way, and Bai Manchuan gets a nosebleed that runs all over the floor. Heh heh heh, I don’t want to be a dog either, but he looked at me!

Drawing on years of experience as a dog, Bai Manchuan knows that even a dog needs to have some dignity.

First, his wife wants soldiers and money.

Hand them over at once!

Second, his wife wants to play at being emperor.

Get to work, bark and bite, and kill everyone in his way!!

Third, his wife wants to clean up the court.

Confidently offer up his own corrupt, greedy father!!!

Rong Xun: “...He’s your father...”

Bai Manchuan rubs his hands together. “Want me to take care of him for you?!”

Later, Rong Xun rules the world, and Bai Manchuan rises from general to empress in a single step.

For a man to be named empress is a great humiliation, unprecedented in the history of this dynasty.

Under the consoling gazes of every official, Bai Manchuan is overcome with emotion and weeps openly.

Just goes to show, if a simp keeps simping, he can have it all!

The bottom’s perspective:

Rong Xun’s life has always gone smoothly, until a man falls for him when he’s twenty.

From then on, he never gets another moment’s peace.

The man is domineering and unreasonable, makes a fuss over nothing, and gets jealous over nothing.

Although the two of them have no relationship at all, he won’t let Rong Xun talk to anyone else or go out at night to socialize.

Rong Xun is fed up, but there’s nothing he can do.

At last, the man dies, and Rong Xun can finally have some peace. But when he’s reborn, he opens his eyes and sees that familiar face.

Bai Manchuan grins cheekily. “It’s not nice to abandon your pet~”

Rong Xun closes his eyes in exhaustion.

What can he do? He was the one who’d recklessly gotten involved with a man who didn’t care if he lived or died. He’ll just have to put up with it, even if he cries.
