I Have Space and a Green Thumb, with Gold and Silver Piled High in My Barn

Career-obsessed mama's girl vs. love-struck young cook

Farming and running a business, everyday life (with a pocket dimension)

Apocalypse veteran Jiang Chun transmigrates with her pocket dimension.

She expected things to be disastrous from the start, but the "awful" people around her were so weak that a few little tricks had them begging for mercy.

She thought she could settle into a comfortable retirement with a house, land, and supplies, but then her stepmother, who had been a widow for three years, got pregnant! And her biological father, whose grave had long since grown three feet of grass, had faked his death on the battlefield!

Adultery during the mourning period was punishable by being drowned in a pond, while faking your death was a crime that could doom the whole clan. No matter how you looked at it, they were all headed for mutual destruction.

Jiang Chun packed up and ran in the middle of the night. I'm done playing with you people!

But when she saw her gentle, delicate stepmother staying up by lamplight to mend her clothes, her heart softened. She decided to take her along too. What was one more child to raise?

But little by little, Jiang Chun realized that her mysterious stepmother seemed more like the protagonist of a transmigration story:

A noble young lady fallen on hard times; her beauty ruined, she was forced to marry; her mother-in-law gave her a hard time, and she clashed with her sisters-in-law; her husband faked his death, and she fled while pregnant.

The road ahead was far from peaceful.

To protect the people by her side, Jiang Chun brought out her seeds and took her place at the negotiating table. I want money, and I want power.

As she navigated the struggle for fame and fortune, wealth and power, she advanced step by step, yielding not an inch.

Everyone thought she was insatiably greedy, but they didn't know that the power she sought was the means to protect ordinary people from oppression, and the money she wanted was the dignity of ensuring her loved ones never had to bow their heads for half a dou of rice again.

While the powerful were still plotting how to squeeze every last grain of food from the seeds in her hands, she had already used them to grow a peace that the whole world would look up to, right there on the wasteland.

But all she truly wanted was someone to keep a light burning at the hearth for her.

In the end, she returned to the little noodle stall where it all began. A Qing brought out the same bowl of hot noodle soup he'd made at the start.

"No matter how tired you are, you still have to eat your fill."

Jiang Chun looked back at him. The boy had grown into a young man, the innocence gone from his features, but his eyes were still just as they had been when she first met him, filled with no one but her.
