Description

In just three years, Su Ling and Lin Feng went from being deeply in love to growing distant after their marriage. When Su Ling received a call from his hometown urging him to return and inherit the ancestral home, he made the decision to pack his belongings and leave his disillusioning marriage and the bustling city behind. Driven by the desire for self-sustainability, he took up a hoe and ventured into the fields to grow vegetables. Unbeknownst to him, his family’s ten-acre plot of land gradually transformed into a bountiful expanse of crops. Eh? Wasn’t this a tad bit too much? Since there were more vegetables than he could possibly eat, let’s live stream and sell them! Surprisingly, the live stream’s popularity took an unprecedented leap, causing the vegetables to be sold out in no time. To add to the mystery, a fan base appeared out of nowhere? At first, viewers entered a live stream with low expectations, anticipating nothing more than a mundane display of someone hawking vegetables. Just when they were about to express their criticism, their jaws dropped in utter astonishment the moment they laid eyes upon the streamer’s face… Holy cow, holy cow, holy cow, holy cow!!! Where did this stunningly handsome cutie come from?! TT^TT Someone save me! Why is a guy as good-looking as this one live streaming to sell vegetables here??? And so it continued… Fan 1: The white cabbage from this cutie’s farm is refreshingly crisp and tastes amazing! Hope there’s more for sale next time! Fan 2: We’re willing to send you gifts, Cutie, so please do more live streams! TT^TT Fan 3: I’ve never been a fan of cucumbers, but ever since I tried the ones grown by this cutie, I can’t imagine a meal without them! (By the way, I could drool over Cutie’s face for a lifetime!) TT^TT …… After returning from his business trip abroad, Lin Feng was greeted with a seemingly ransacked house and a slew of items missing. Amidst the mess, the sight of Su Ling’s divorce papers hit him like a ton of bricks, draining all color from his face. Why did his wife decide he no longer wanted him after he left on a business trip? In a mad frenzy, he feverishly sought any clues, only to be met with nothing! One day, the assistant rushed over with a phone in hand, eager to show him a viral live stream featuring a farmer selling his agricultural products. Lin Feng’s astonishment knew no bounds when he realized that the handsome and graceful young man, clad in a white t-shirt and sporting a straw hat while holding a large cabbage, was none other than his missing wife! Lin Feng raced through the winding roads toward the countryside, determined to bring Su Ling back with him. With his pants rolled up and a hoe in hand, Su Ling proudly pointed toward the lush green fields and countered defiantly, “After all the sweat and toil I’ve poured into building this, why should I give it up?” Lin Feng: “…” Note: 1. A sweet 1v1 romance novel. Top pampers bottom. Please note that there will not be any pregnancy! 2. The story is set in a FICTIONAL world where same-s*x marriage is allowed and the brands mentioned are purely fabricated!

My Thoughts on I Started Farming in the Countryside After I Divorced

"I Started Farming in the Countryside After I Divorced" promised a fresh start and a peaceful life, and while parts of it delivered, I walked away with mixed feelings. It wasn't a terrible read, but neither was it one that completely captivated me.

First Impressions

The initial premise definitely grabbed my attention. The idea of a divorced protagonist escaping to the countryside to start a new life was appealing, and the story dives right into the divorce and relocation, which I appreciated. I was ready for some rural bliss and character development.

What Works Well

The countryside setting is undeniably charming. I enjoyed the descriptions of farm life and the slow pace of the story. The relationship between the MC and ML has its moments, and it's nice to see a couple who are, for the most part, mature and capable. The author clearly intended to deliver a fluffy and heartwarming story, and at times, it succeeds. I also found the initial plot of running away and divorce very interesting.

Areas of Concern

However, I found myself getting bogged down by the interpersonal drama. While some conflict is necessary, it felt like the story became overly reliant on miscommunications and secrets between the main characters. This trope, of withholding information to "protect" your partner, grew tiresome and detracted from my enjoyment. I also went in expecting more focus on the farming aspect and live streaming, but these elements seemed secondary to the relationship drama. The characterization felt somewhat shallow, and I didn't always feel invested in the supporting characters.

Final Verdict

Ultimately, "I Started Farming in the Countryside After I Divorced" is a decent read if you're looking for something light and undemanding. However, don't expect a deep dive into farming or groundbreaking character development. It's a passable story with some cute moments, but the excessive drama and shallow characterization prevent it from reaching its full potential. I'd recommend it with reservations – perhaps give it a try and see if it clicks with you, but don't be surprised if you find yourself taking breaks along the way.
