Returning to the Frontier to Start a Ranch

One day, Shi Wen received an email saying that his late grandfather had left him a ranch. He met the requirements for inheriting it and was invited to claim it.

Shi Wen: A scam?

Soon, Shi Wen discovered that the ranch really did exist, and that his Qilin bloodline made him eligible to inherit it.

All he had to do was say yes, and the ranch deep in the grasslands would become his home.

A few days later, Shi Wen moved into his own sprawling ranch. He started with a flock of sheep, and before long he had dogs and cats, cattle and horses, camels, chickens, ducks, pigs, geese, and just about everything else.

With his Qilin bloodline, Shi Wen excelled at animal husbandry.

In less than two years, the horses he raised made it to the finals of an international equestrian competition, the beef he developed won gold at an international exhibition, and even the young pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks on his ranch were already attracting offers from top companies around the world.

Shi Wen, now a leading livestock expert: This is the life.

My next novel, Global Farm TOP 1, is now open for pre-orders. Blurb:

The night Qing Mengzhu was fired, he went out drinking with a friend to vent.

Halfway through, a chime rang in his mind, followed by a flat electronic voice: "Congratulations on binding to the Interstellar Mall. You have received a precious interstellar vendor slot. This slot is nontransferable and will expire if unused..."

After sobering up, Qing Mengzhu discovered the binding was real. He now owned an interstellar mall filled with wonderful things like spirit spring water, gene medicine, and soil-restoration agents.

After thinking it over, he decided to return to his hometown. He started by growing lotus roots, then raised shrimp, planted bamboo, cultivated all kinds of crops, and eventually established a farm.

After years of hard work, his farm grew more and more famous. Countless people in agriculture hoped to make a pilgrimage to it, calling it the world's number-one farm.

Few knew that one of the reasons he worked so hard to develop the farm was that he wanted to make something of himself and stand beside someone special.

Qing Mengzhu had a secret.

He couldn't remember when he had fallen in love with his stepbrother, Ming Chunxi.

One day, he woke from a dream drenched in sweat, his pants and bedding in disarray. In the darkness, the pale, radiant young man could only gasp in panic.

He wanted to deny it, ignore it, bury it, but his feelings kept growing until they nearly drove him mad.

He wanted to confess and change the nature of their relationship, but a voice inside told him that someone like Ming Chunxi could never love an ordinary person like him.

Better to enjoy the little intimacy they shared as stepbrothers than to risk everything.

One day, Ming Chunxi returned to the country.

A talented graduate from a prestigious university could easily earn a million a year at their age. He could probably be the father of someone earning that much.

Qing Mengzhu felt even more hopeless. The gap between reaching the top of agriculture and reaching the top of intelligent internet technology could probably fit an entire Pacific Ocean.

Then one day, the slender young man stood there with reddened eyes, ashamed and despairing, unable to meet anyone's gaze.

Ming Chunxi stared at him and took the first step toward a new relationship between them.
