Blurb: After Li Xiaohuan, a woman past her prime, dies, her soul travels into the body of a village woman who has just turned eighteen. Suddenly, she has a husband and three stepchildren. The trouble is, the original owner had split from the family as soon as she married in, leaving them with only an earthen house and four mu of farmland to live on, two mu of which are dry fields. Li Xiaohuan is deeply troubled. Can she survive in ancient times without a golden finger? She doesn't know.
But years later, she tells us, "I can," and she ends up living better than anyone else!
A few words from the author:
1. The early part of this story gives a detailed account of the protagonist's day-to-day farming life, with some village tales woven in. Later, it returns to farming and opening a shop.
2. The male lead is a local countryman who served in the military and fought on the battlefield, but was a nobody. So there won't be any court politics later on. This is simply a story about ordinary people working hard to farm and earn money. Since the male lead is a native, his thinking is still shaped by feudal ideas early on. He'll gradually change as he spends time with the female lead.
3. This story is set in a fictional world where cattle can be raised and slaughtered in the area where the female lead lives.
4. The so-called delicacies in this story are mostly home-cooked dishes. Early on, seasonal and financial limitations restrict the ingredients. Later, as their finances improve and the seasons change, more ingredients become available.
5. This is my first story. I started writing on impulse, and only after picking up the pen did I realize how difficult writing is. Ahem! Back to the point: honestly, I have no writing experience, and I didn't have an outline when I started. Sometimes I have too many ideas and want to include everything, which makes the plot feel a little messy. My intention was to write a good story, but the result fell short. Still, I've done my very best at this stage. I hope readers will think carefully before reading.
That's all~
Thank you!

The male protagonist's attitude towards Orchid is really disturbing. How should I put it? You think he may have a certain reason for doing this, but if you analyze it carefully, there are still problems. Is it possible for the male protagonist to want the female protagonist to get along well with Orchid? Lanhua also wondered to herself why others didn't like her, and she didn't realize that what she did was inappropriate. I felt a little bit aggrieved after watching it. I thought that after the male and female protagonists got together, the male protagonist would take care of Orchid's affairs, but this is the result?? Wouldn't the heroine feel aggrieved? Maybe this is life, everyone is not so perfect, life may be ordinary.
When I see potatoes, I feel a little weird. . . .
So many real people and true stories? Did you know it from the news?
This price is a bit too exaggerated, right? (??????) You should know that in ancient times, a hard laborer only earned a hundred taels a day. In the Book of Love, the oil seller could only save 10 taels in three years. It's a bit exaggerated that this person can make hundreds of pounds more per pound than the farmer.
There is no such custom in the south...
