Synopsis

Also known as: A Real-Life Stardew Valley, After Quitting My Job, I Went Back to the Countryside to Grow Flowers and Raise Dogs, and My Own Walden Pond

Fed up with the workplace, Xu Wenshu resolutely quits his job, rents a house in a small rural town, and starts living out a real-life version of Stardew Valley.

Farming, raising dogs, fishing, fixing up the house...

With his ability to see people's traits, he starts winning over the town's NPCs one by one: the well-connected old man, the gossipy owner of the general store, the cash-strapped landlord, and others.

Years later, Xu Wenshu, now known as a local, stands at the entrance to the town amid a sea of people. He always finds himself remembering the afternoon he first arrived, climbing aboard that rattling minivan and wobbling off toward a new life.
