The grand, official version:
@Wen Tingyi, at first, I just wanted somewhere to retire and enjoy a rare moment of leisure. Later, I hoped children would have schools to attend, the elderly could enjoy their later years, and young people could pursue their ideals. My ultimate goal is to lead everyone in the mountain village to prosperity.
Honestly: I originally wanted to hide in the mountains to dodge my debts. I never expected to be bound to a public-benefit App that gets me to work for the mountain villagers every day.
Then the App, which keeps forcing me to do good deeds, also gave me a gacha game. The first time, I drew a drama-queen movie star who was a cypress tree spirit. The second time, I drew a flamboyantly dressed female spirit who does nothing but use her phone and livestream. The third time... ..
The literary version: The city is noisy and chaotic. I live alone in a corner, hidden in plain sight.
The straightforward version: Wen Tingyun went bankrupt and had no choice but to go home and inherit a mountain. From then on, she set out to develop the mountain and lead the villagers toward a better life. As for that dimensional passage?
Welcome! Our mountain also hosts visitors from other worlds.
The leveling-up version:
The Nation-Strengthening and Public-Welfare System reminds you: Please complete the following developments.
Homestead development (?) Reward: 5,000 RMB and unlock the dimensional gateway
Cute Pet achievement (?) Reward: 1,500 RMB and open a connection to the ghost-and-monster realm of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio
Work hard to earn these achievements~
And finally: Nie Xiaoqian livestreams her vacation at my manor resort
The movie star became my man
The absurd version: Want to live like the village bully of the Brother Hua Farm? Want to be a hermit living in the countryside? Add My Years Contracting a Mountain (this novel) to your reading list! Here, you can become a village bully, a mountain bully, or even the boss of everyone!
If you like me, add me to your reading list!

Back in November, I was under a ton of pressure. I wasn't happy with the other two stories I was writing on Jinjiang, so I wanted to give myself a little peach-blossom retreat. I figured I wouldn't worry about how the stats turned out; I'd just write, save chapters, and go wherever my ideas took me. I hoped to have a place to write whatever I wanted.
After I started writing, I unconsciously began building a leveling system again. I thought, what does a person do alone on a mountain? They should take on some responsibility, so I added a System.
Theme: Escape the noise of the city and enjoy a peaceful life
