Xin Can's Shanhai Manor

____Announcement: This novel is free and will not be abandoned. Updates are irregular. Thanks to all the adorable readers following along!_____

Taking her parents with her to a barren coastal wasteland waiting to be developed, Xin Shan looks at the rickety shack and opens the System, beginning her journey of building and running a settlement.

With what seems like a touch of fake protagonist-level luck, she uses the little bit of starting money her family has to buy a house, "steal" some land, and set up a flower garden, a farm, a tree farm, a medicinal herb garden, and her beloved ocean ranch.

Xin Shan thinks this will be a carefree farming story: tending flowers and plants, raising cute pets, and occasionally taking the whole family on a trip to "see the world."

But she never expects that an expert at pretending to be unlucky has been lurking nearby all along. It's hard to tell who is rubbing off on whom, but life is always full of "surprises."

--A lucky, changeable heroine who wants to cultivate an elite image, but gives up and decides to lie flat when she runs into too many obstacles. Cute little creatures chip away at her intelligence every day, but luckily, she knows how to make money!

--A moody, disguised retired big shot only wants to find a quiet corner to enjoy retirement. But the laid-back heroine turns his life upside down. When he finally regains his fighting spirit, he discovers that he's the one being kept!

--Modern infrastructure, diversified businesses, and more than just local mountain-and-sea tourism. As long as you have enough credit points, all kinds of fantasy adventures are yours to enjoy.

--When an unlucky big shot collides with a lucky layabout, which truly makes you a winner in life: talent or money? A leisurely, logically grounded story with plenty of side plots and twists.

****** Upcoming novel blurb: "Collecting Treasures in a Period Novel" ******

Ye Wei transmigrates into a book, and from the start, she's in hell mode: both parents dead, a bare-bones household, and a broken engagement.

Yet with this setup, she doesn't even make it into the cast as a supporting female character. She's just cannon fodder in this period novel.

After the original owner accepts half a roasted potato from the kindhearted female lead, her bizarre reasoning leads her to take the blame for the other girl's profiteering. She's sentenced and sent to a farm in the northwest, never to appear again.

New to this world and faced with a desperate situation, Ye Wei is half-dead and utterly unmotivated.

After repeatedly dreaming about the plot of the book, she finally wakes up to the danger. If she keeps wasting away, she might starve to death before she can pursue the slim chance of getting back to her world. And then she might run into that fateful half-roasted potato first! She'd have to be crazy to follow the original plot and send herself off to eat rough cornmeal buns.

So Ye Wei pulls herself together and makes a living off the land. After struggling alone for a whole year, she finally has enough to eat, and life starts to get interesting.

Watching the female lead next door thrive, Ye Wei just wants to be comfortably well-off and quietly live the life she's planned for herself.

Then her half-broken self-service collection System suddenly appears. When she sees that her health bar reads 44/100, she can no longer sit still.

Digging up bricks in old mansions and searching dry wells, Ye Wei struggles to stick to her principles while collecting treasures in this special era.

Message: Cherish nature's gifts and enjoy the fun of building a home and farming!
