Farming in a Torture Novel World [Quick Transmigration]

The next novel, [Building a Civilization from Scratch: Growing Potatoes on a Desolate Planet], is coming soon. Please add it to your reading list.

Sheng Jingwu was a miserable graduate student at an agricultural university. After dying, he transmigrated into an angsty romance as the mistreated, submissive love interest.

System:

Your mission is to play the frail, stubborn, beloved protagonist from an old-school romance!

Even when betrayed, remain devoted to the scumbag love interest, then die tragically and leave him consumed with regret, forever cherishing your memory!

Sheng Jingwu: ? Fine. I’ll do my best.

World 1:

The original owner came from a poor family. Thanks to the help of his village neighbors, he got into college and dreamed of giving back to his hometown after graduation.

But the domineering scumbag love interest seized him by force and even locked him up, causing him to miss his thesis defense.

He even had the nerve to say, “I just couldn’t bear to see you working so hard.”

Sheng Jingwu rolled up his sleeves:

Well, well. Let’s see what kind of “domineering CEO” can stand in the way of rural development!

The scumbag love interest sneered:

What could a poor, remote backwater possibly achieve? In less than a year, he’ll come crying back to beg me!

But years later, the once-desolate village was covered in fertile fields. Factories sprang up, attracting countless investors.

Sheng Jingwu’s achievements became a celebrated story, inspiring more and more college students to return to their hometowns.

Later, the scumbag’s company declined year after year and was eventually acquired.

At the acquisition ceremony, he came face-to-face with the legendary tycoon who had built an empire from nothing...

The very “canary” he had looked down on all those years ago.

World 2:

The original owner was timid by nature. The boldest thing he ever did was rescue a general who had passed out on a mountain.

The general pretended to have lost his memory, enjoyed the original protagonist’s care, and promised to marry him once he recovered.

Unfortunately, the original owner never saw the bridal sedan. Instead, he saw the general’s childhood sweetheart arrive.

Later, when forced to choose between the original owner and his childhood sweetheart during a rebel attack, the general sacrificed the original owner to save the other man.

Sheng Jingwu trembled with rage:

With such rich soil and a favorable climate, you’re still relying on war to plunder resources?

Fine, fine! Let’s see how someone who fells forests, ruins crops, and has no reverence for food manages to hold on to the throne!

Later, the scumbag love interest ascended the throne and wanted to bring Sheng Jingwu to the palace.

But the beautiful young man who had once had eyes only for him had defected to another country and was teaching their ruler eighteen ways to increase crop yields?

Later still, the neighboring country enjoyed peace and prosperity, its people living in comfort. Talented people flocked there, making it a rare haven amid the chaos.

In the end, it unified the Central Plains.

On the day the scumbag’s capital fell, the people actually cheered.

Through the flames, he caught sight of the enemy’s legendary great general...

The very Sheng Jingwu he had abandoned all those years ago.

World 3:

After the apocalypse ended, the original owner, having lost his family, gathered the courage to rebuild a home with his lover.

He had no idea his lover was a nobleman who had hidden his identity to fight for the family estate.

In the end, when forced to choose between the original owner and becoming head of the family, he returned to his family without hesitation.

Sheng Jingwu sneered:

The world is in ruins after the apocalypse, and you’re wasting this golden opportunity on backstabbing and infighting?

Instead of fighting over that paltry family fortune, why not expand human settlements, speed up infrastructure development, and lay a solid foundation for humanity’s next hundred years?

Later, the scumbag love interest became head of the family as he had hoped, but the family lost its former authority and was instead brought to justice by humanity.

After losing everything, he began desperately longing for the time he had spent with Sheng Jingwu.

But when he used his last resources to look for Sheng Jingwu, he discovered that...

The man who had contributed more than anyone to building the new home, and whom humanity hailed as “the light of a new age”...

Was none other than Sheng Jingwu, the man who had once stood by him through hard times.

The System was on the verge of tears:

I told you to show devotion and make the love interest regret everything! Why are you farming?!

Sheng Jingwu: They’re all full of regret, aren’t they?

The System angrily reported the situation to the Main Controller.

Main Controller:

Huh? If he likes farming, then let him farm to his heart’s content!

The System was delighted:

We’ll settle the score after he’s done farming?

The Main Controller bonked it on the head:

I mean the Main Controller’s ten-thousand-acre farm is ready for him. Tell him to hurry over!

[Coming Soon: Give It a Taste]

After the lazy civil engineering student Chu Linxuan died suddenly, he woke up to find himself in an age of interstellar exploration.

The bad news: He got the worst possible start. The powerful stripped him down to a nobody and exiled him to a desolate planet to grow potatoes.

The good news: He came with a construction system and a whole team of brilliant advisors to help build a powerful nation. The moment he set foot on the planet, before he’d even had time to settle in, a group of ragged, emaciated refugees threw themselves down before him and kowtowed. “We respectfully welcome Your Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace!”

Chu Linxuan: ?

He looked down at the dazzling orange-and-gold legendary titles hovering over their heads, each with a rainbow effect: [A Legendary Minister for the Ages], [Pillar of the Nation], [A Name Immortalized in History], and more.

He was stunned on the spot.

Well, talk about a buy-one-get-ten-free deal! Was transmigrating supposed to come with a whole package from the glorious Tang dynasty? What the heck! All he wanted was to lie flat and be a lazy fish!

-

But the people of Huaxia are made of the spirit of Huaxia, and infrastructure never gives up.

Under the reverent gazes of those around him,

Chu Linxuan found himself building roads in every direction, rolling out water conservancy projects, and making nuclear power his top priority. Before long, he had become the most powerful ruler in the stars!

Later generations recorded the legend of his life like this:

In the year 843 of the Star Calendar, Chu Linxuan, founding emperor, descended from the heavens with countless miracles...

He possessed the richest granaries in all the stars, banished hunger, and made the land fruitful. With equality and strength, he brought hope and light to countless people in their darkest hour.

In just a few months, he solved problems that had plagued the desolate planet for centuries, turning it into an ideal utopia renowned far and wide.

The greatest warrior, whose blade could cleave the sea of stars in half, was an unstoppable weapon in his hand. The cunning power broker, so shrewd he seemed almost demonic and so fearsome that countless people quaked at his name, was his ever-loyal follower. Countless people willingly sang his praises.

Even the arrogant, haughty head of the Federation had to treat him with the utmost deference as a most honored guest.

Without a doubt, he replaced the gods and became the new object of faith.

#AnIrresponsibleLittleScene:

Years later, an interviewer asked:

“Esteemed Sir Chu, what inspired you to set out on the path to godhood?”

Chu Linxuan replied:

“I didn’t want to at first.”

“But they all called me Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
