Farming: The Heaven-Blessed Daughter

Zhao Lingling, an unemployed young woman, is sent by the heavens to ancient times in her sleep. Her house is leaky, her clothes are torn, and her family is short on food. Oh well. Since she’s here, she might as well make the best of it. At least the heavens haven’t treated her too badly: she has a large family of relatives who dote on her. Though she’s still a young girl, she can lead them all to prosperity. But why would the high-and-mighty heir to the estate suddenly come to their poor, remote mountain village? Hmm...

He is the undisputed power behind the continent’s shadowy forces. Yet who would have guessed that this exalted darling of heaven loves food, and refuses to eat anything but the finest delicacies? In short, he’s a total foodie! Whether by good luck or bad, this peerless young lord miraculously finds his kindred spirit in a small mountain village. From then on, he sets off down the road of no return as a foodie. Excerpt 1: “Little girl, how does that clever little head of yours work?

Envoys from the three kingdoms of Dayu, Dazhou, and Dading are on their way to our country!” the servant reported, trembling. “Good. Very good.” Xuan Yuan Hao smiled instead of getting angry. “Go and bring me the military defense maps of all three kingdoms!”
