Coming next: "Stranded Among the Stars, Forced to Farm"

Jiang Tuan transmigrates to an interstellar era ruled by beastfolk, gets stranded on a desolate planet, and is forced to bind himself to a farming System. His miserable new life consists of hauling a hoe out to the fields every day.

Two weeks later, Jiang Tuan has grown a basket of tomatoes. "I'm exhausted."

A passerby looks at the tomatoes, each large and thin-skinned, bursting with juice, rated SSS quality and worth as much as a house in the capital. "I wanna be this exhausted too."

A month later, Jiang Tuan has three different home-cooked meals a day, with meat and soup. "Cooking every day is such a pain."

A passerby, stuck living on nutrient solution, drools. "Please let me suffer like that too."

A year later, Jiang Tuan has turned the desolate planet into a paradise, filled his warehouse to the brim, and gained over a hundred million livestream followers. "My life is so dull."

Passersby go green with envy. "Daddy, Daddy, do you need a son? I can eat, sleep, and chat, and keep you company every day!"

*

While farming, Jiang Tuan notices that little weak, pitiful, helpless animals keep appearing near his home.

A big black dog covered in wounds

A kitten with singed fur

A lop-eared rabbit with two broken legs

Feeling sorry for them, Jiang Tuan carries each one home and feeds them until they're plump and glossy-coated.

Then one day, the kitten turns into a six-foot-three man, the lop-eared rabbit becomes an adorable boy with round eyes, and the big black dog who clings to Jiang Tuan every day and shamelessly insists on sharing his bed...

Big Black: I'm a wolf!!!!!

#The cat, dog, and rabbit I took in are actually the Empire's marshal, the crown prince, and the leader of the space pirates#

#A lighthearted, feel-good story featuring farming, food, adorable pets, and livestreaming#
