Clearing Land, Farming, and Wild Mountain Cuisine

Coming soon: My Lie-Flat Life Was Interrupted by a Forced Flight from Famine; Raising a Wife from the Fields A pure farming story, with delicious food, life in a little mountain village, and cozy everyday moments A farming trio: A gentle, resilient, beautiful girl who won’t support freeloaders, play the saint, or act selfishly. She believes in treating others as they treat her. A cool, handsome, rugged man with eight-pack abs who can hunt, farm, and cook. A goofy, clueless big brother who thinks his little sister is the most important person in the world. Liu Yuehe transmigrates. From the start, she finds herself in a home with bare walls and empty cupboards, utterly penniless. She also has a sickly constitution and a dim-witted older brother, Liu Dahu. But she refuses to accept her fate. She gathers herbs in the mountains, farms the land, builds a pond, and clears fields to grow grain. She plants fruit across the hills: big red and pink fruit, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and cotton. She raises chickens, geese, and plump white pigs… The first time Chen Ye sees Liu Yuehe, she strikes him as clever and beautiful, with skin so pale it almost glows. The first time Yuehe meets Chen Ye, she finds him fierce-looking and handsome, with a strong, sturdy build. Later, he joins her in the mountains and fields. “Give me a chance to do your laundry and cook for you.” Liu Dahu: Hee-hee! Chen Ye is trying to win my sister over again! Chen Ye: Are you stupid? Get back to work. Liu Dahu: Hmph! Chen Ye! My sister doesn’t like mean people! Chen Ye: Don’t waste my time. I have to hurry back and cook for your sister. Watch the seasons pass in a farmhouse courtyard, with hills full of soft pink peaches, bright red persimmons, and heavy branches laden with plump lychees, mandarins, and jujubes… Then enjoy home-cooked dishes by the hearth: braised pork, garlic-roasted meat, stir-fried rabbit and pheasant, wild mountain fish roasted over a fire, hot pot with fresh fruits and vegetables, wild mushrooms stewed with free-range chicken, bamboo rats and bamboo shoots, and snacks shared around the stove… Note: No court politics. They won’t become rich and powerful by the end. An everyday farming story. Coming soon: Raising a Wife from the Fields Lin Yiyi: Soft, timid, and not obedient, but no pushover. Li Fengnian: A scoundrel, lazy, and idle, always chasing cats and teasing dogs. Lin Yiyi transmigrates into a hopeless situation.

If she can’t go back, she’ll find a decent family to take her in and live off him! Li Fengnian isn’t exactly a good man, either. When he sees Lin Yiyi with tears in her eyes and a figure soft as water, he thinks he’s never seen anyone so beautiful in all the nearby villages! With their own agendas, the two hit it off, each pretending to be madly in love. They expect a happy life of slacking off together. Instead, after marriage, they both have a rude awakening! Lin Yiyi is devastated! Li Fengnian is a rascal! Li Fengnian is devastated! Lin Yiyi is a spoiled little princess! When she’s hungry, she calls for him! When she wants new clothes, she calls for him!

Damn it! “Coming, here’s your food!” “I bought your clothes, all right!” “Lin Yiyi, you can’t do laundry or cook, but surely you can hit people! Just watch how your man deals with them!” From then on, Li Fengnian sets off down the one-way road of revolving around Lin Yiyi. He keeps at it until his laziness is gradually worn away. Together, they roam the mountains and wander the streets, slowly building a warm, happy life of their own.
