After Graduation, I Went Home to Keep Bees

→ My new novel, The Villainess Becomes a Mom and Refuses to Raise Her Kids Like Little Chickens, is now available! A hilarious entertainment-industry story about an ancient noble consort in the modern day. A laid-back consort, raising kids without pressure, no romance for anyone, making money first, going crazy forever. It's already got plenty of chapters, so dig in!

Other people's dads: "Kid, once you leave these mountains, don't come back!"

Jiang Xiaoman's dad: "Kid, you're the only hope our village has! You have to come back after graduation!"

After graduating from college, Jiang Xiaoman hoisted the equipment he'd found at a secondhand market and resolutely boarded the slow train back to his hometown.

While his classmates were busy with campus recruitment, he was growing and roasting tea.

While his classmates were busy taking civil service exams, he was raising native bees and harvesting honey.

While his classmates were busy taking exams for government jobs, he was digging bamboo shoots and carving bamboo.

Later, his classmates, scattered across the city, suddenly realized:

That influencer with tens of millions of followers was their classmate?

The person who sold Langshan folk embroidery, a craft on the verge of extinction, at an international trade fair was also their classmate?

And the person who received a national award on television as an outstanding figure in rural poverty alleviation for the whole province was their classmate too?
