Four Seasons in the Mountain Village (Farming)

Lin Shu came from the apocalypse. She had never eaten a full meal or enjoyed a single day of peace.

After transmigrating into the body of a fake heiress in a marquis's household, with the story heading straight toward the ending where she would be exiled to a manor outside the capital, Lin Shu decisively chose to return to her “hometown,” a little mountain village.

Her mother was easily swayed, her father cared about saving face, and her younger sister was shy and timid.

But that was all right. Lin Shu smiled and got straight to work.

A few thatched cottages, rows of vegetable beds

Scatter some beans, plant a patch of squash, dig a fishpond

Put wildflowers in a clay jar, plant a couple of Sichuan pepper trees out front

Lounge on a bamboo chair and watch the clouds gather and drift; when hungry, cook up little mountain delicacies by the stove

Buddha's tofu, jelly made from Ficus tikoua

Duck braised with taro stems, fish stewed with perilla

Termite mushroom sauce, bamboo fungus soup

Acorn flour, kudzu root powder

Every season brought delicious food.

Day after day, Lin Shu cooked up all kinds of mountain delicacies, nourishing her sensible mother, good-natured father, and clever little sister until they were all doing better and better.

Oh, and there was also a taciturn man whose ears turned red easily.

Lin Shu looked at the strapping man with deep eyes and a straight nose, then beckoned to him with a smile. “Silly, come here.”

He dug the fishpond, hunted the wild ducks, and picked the wildflowers. On top of that, he had captured her heart.

Of course she was going to make him hers.

#Village life, the warmth of everyday life, leisurely meals, and a gentle, unhurried romance#

Most of the time is spent eating, cooking, and gathering supplies in the wild, with some flirting with an honest country man when there's free time.

[Delicate little actress x strong, brooding hunk]

Reader's guide:

1. A fictional setting, possibly mixing elements from different dynasties.

2. The fake-heiress plot only appears briefly at the beginning and end. The middle is all farming, starting in chapter five.

3. Rural daily life + the everyday romance of a young couple.

4. The heroine regains her strength later on, becoming a strong, sweet girl x strong hunk.
