To Read Novels: Poor to Rich, Farming Pt. 1

To Read Novels: Poor to Rich, Farming Pt. 1
List of novels in my To Read list for my favourite trope, rags to riches! To my best guess anyway since I haven't read them XD. Also usually slice of life. I also put in some untranslated novels from some favourite poor to rich authors from the jjwxc website that I desperately hope someone would translate in the comments T.T

I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change. I like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations. Not in any particular order but I try to put similar novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. And the incompleted ones at the back.  Recommendations are very welcome!

Translated by Flying Lines which ughhhh. So, locked behind a paywall. I wish novelupdates wouldn't set it as Completed when a majority of people can't read it.

"3.3/5!!! [Historical - Ancient China, Slice of Life, Farming] Not bad for a casual read! I didn’t end up finishing it, so I won’t do a full review, but it’s really not as bad as I was initially expecting. For this novel, the main theme is slice of life. It’s not poor-to-rich oriented like most Historical farming novels of the same kind, it focuses more on the drama between the people that are related to the main CP. As for the main couple themselves, their romance is pretty simple and straightforward. It’s also very traditional, so there’s not a lot of romantic development, just some fluff after the fact." - tr*sh_generalist... more>>

"1) it's well written. All loose ends r tied up by the end of the novel (no plot holes!), and there's no weird plot armor or convoluted logic to force the plot progression. Author did a great job including enough world building for everything to make sense wo overwhelming the reader, and also keeping the story primarily character driven but not boring since there's still a lot of plot happening.2) the relationships. This is def more of a fam oriented story as opposed to romance, but I actually prefer that in this case bc of how great all the "side characters" r w how they all have discount characteristics and storylines that also make the... more>>

    Oh my goshhhh!! I stopped reading for a while since was in a slump, having ran out of novels to read, then came this marvelous list with detailed reviews!!! Sometimes it's really hard to judge a novel with the synopsis alone since they can be very vague, while others have nothing to do with the story at all. I also want to know the general undertones of the story before proceeding in order to adjust my mood. You don't know how thankful I am clear.png

    5) My husband comes from the future by Jue Jue

    Seems like it might be a poor to rich/weak to strong story from one of the best poor to rich authors XD

    Li Qingzhi lived alone in the end of the world for many years. After starving to death, he transformed into a poor man in ancient times who was dragged to dig stones. He finally returned home alive and died of illness. .

    The world is full of food!

    This man actually has a wife and two children!

    Li Qingzhi stuffed everything he saw into his mouth, and even hugged his wife and refused to let go - this is a soft and soft person! Oh, his wife is so beautiful and gentle!

    And his two dirty children are simply the cutest in the world!

    Jin Xiaoye, the famous shrew in Miaoqian Village: "..."

    The naughty twins in Miaoqian Village: "..."

    ***

    The villagers in Miaoqian Village all know that the man from the Li family who was r*ped although He returned home alive, but already s*upid.

    He giggles all day long, clings to his wife and children all day long, and even smiles without getting angry when being scolded!

    Li Qingzhi was in a state of excitement: This man is so lively, completely different from a zombie!

    ***

    Everyone felt that Jin Xiaoye was miserable. She finally waited for the man to come back and spent a lot of money to treat the man. As a result, the man became a fool.

    But they didn't expect that this fool would take the imperial examination all the way and get the top prize.

    ***

    4) The 80s started with setting up a stall by Jue Jue!

    Seems like it's going to be a poor to rich story from one of the best poor to rich authors XD

    Jiang Liyun has wanted to be a rich person since she was a child. Although she had a rough life in her early years, she later worked hard and earned hundreds of millions of dollars.

    But she married an inhumane man and was half-paralyzed by the scumbag. If Feng Yi, who had grown up with her, had not taken care of her, she might not have survived.

    But even Feng Yi died early. Her life was full of regrets.

    When she opened her eyes again, she went back to 1987, the day after her blind date with the scumbag.

    She was young at this time, and there were countless business opportunities waiting for her to explore in the land where she lived.

    This time, whether it's marriage or career, she will go smoothly!

    *

    After being reborn, Jiang Liyun rejected the scumbag, and then looked at the dark and thin Feng Yi from her neighbor and sighed.

    Feng Yi, who could take good care of her in his previous life and carry her weighing more than 100 kilograms, could move around freely now like a bamboo pole.

    What can she do? We can only work hard to raise him strong.

    *

    Feng Yi's father died young, and his mother took him to remarry.

    Among the five children in the family, he is the one who is least valued. No one cares about him except Jiang Liyun, who lives next door.

    His biggest dream is to marry Jiang Liyun. If he can't get married, he can follow Jiang Liyun for the rest of his life.

    From a certain day, Jiang Liyun started feeding him...

    Feng Yi was so happy that he almost fainted. Everyone in the village knows very well that the Feng family will not give Feng Yi a wife, and Feng Yi is destined to be an old bachelor.

    As a result... Feng Yi "married" himself to the third daughter of the Jiang family.

    As the third son of the Jiang family became richer and richer, he also became the most enviable man. 

    Reading guide: The heroine is reborn, starting from setting up a stall and slowly getting rich, with a family and a family.

    3) Get Rich in Chronicles by by 素昧平生v

    Same author as the amazing "Bai Fumei in the ’70s"! Seems to be set in a similar time period and the "Purpose" section below says its a get rich to make money so hopefully it's a poor to rich novel.

    Su Ye in the period novel is famous for being a top performer. She is lazy and can’t even help her when a bottle of oil is poured. She is married to an outstanding military hero because of her ancestor’s honor. The top class has lost her marriage. I regret my green intestines and live in desolation all my life.

    In fact, she is just a tool used to slap the face in period novels and a control group to set off the happiness of the heroine.

    Su Ye, who came from time-travel, said in shock: He is almost starving to death and still wants to fall in love?

    Shouldn’t we work hard and make more food (money)?

    *

    Su Ye's biggest wish after transmigrating became to be fed and clothed. In order to realize her wish, she works hard every day.

    [A user who is "patriotic" rewards the anchor with 1g of pork belly]

    [A user who is "extremely rich" rewards the anchor with a green vegetable leaf]

    Su Ye picked up the hoe: This drizzle is not enough.

    We are performing an autumn harvest today. Can dads enjoy a piece of pork belly?

    Gradually, Su Ye relied on his (bu) hard work (yao) (lian) to save a mountain of food and a mountain of gold.

    2) Cinnabar nevus in the 1980s by 素昧平生v

    Same author as the amazing "Bai Fumei in the ’70s"! Set in the 80's time period and the "Purpose" section below says its a get rich by hard work so hopefully it's a poor to rich novel.

    He Rong opened her eyes, and a bitter woman was trying to persuade her: the most important thing for a woman's family is reputation.

    He Rong was shocked to realize that she had turned into a small village girl who planned to marry a big man but lost her life to enjoy the happiness.

    Bai Fumei, who foresaw what would happen next, was shocked. Why did she do something bad? She had to go against the world! Wake up! The boss is an advanced person who only has work in mind!

    He Rong was about to quit her job and break up the relationship in a hurry, until she met the big boss in the article -

    On a rainy night, the rain poured down on the man who was repairing the car.

    He slowly raised his head, revealing his handsome and profound face. 

    He Rong immediately retracted her shallow thoughts.

    *

    There is a new rice cook in the cafeteria. She is the most handsome girl in the whole country.

    When she smiled, the workers forgot all about their hunger and fatigue, and their hearts blossomed.

    She secretly stuffed pig's feet into old and frail workers and applied for housing for employees.

    People have beautiful hearts and kind hearts, who can withstand this!

    In private, He Rong puffed up her chest: Is the book as good as mine? More content than me?

    The man coughed violently. He closed the book and lowered his head. His voice was chaotic: "Be more reserved."

    1) White Moonlight in the 1980s by 素昧平生v.

    Same author as the amazing "Bai Fumei in the ’70s"! Set in the same time period and seems to also have that lovely atmosphere, second chance, beautiful romance, slice-of-life and farming!

    "Sun Miaomiao is a famous beauty from all over the country. Zhang Xing, with her peach-blossom face and cheeks, smiled when she met anyone, and her Qiu Shui eyes seemed to be filled with light.

    But what's the use!

    When she was about to get married, she was attracted by a gangster from the next county town.

    Miaomiao's mother was so worried that her mouth was bitter, and she was forced to choose a son-in-law at the last minute. He was a poor man with no father or mother. When he had a cold face, his eyes were as deep as a wolf, and his reputation resounded throughout the country. But the good thing is that you know the basics.

    Sun Miaomiao married Hao Sidao.

    ·

    After rebirth, Sun Miaomiao saw her mother slap Hao Sidao on the face.

    The man's forbearing gaze was mixed with a hint of disgust. She was so frightened that she almost rolled off the bed and quickly hugged her mother's thigh.

    Mother! Do you know who you hit?

    ·

    Previous life.

    When the new millennium approached, a reporter once interviewed the wealthy Hao Sidao: You are not young, when will you consider getting married?

    Hao Sidao's eyes darkened: Already.

    The loneliness flashing across his eyes was like a flash of fireworks, fleeting.

    ·

    Hao Sidao will always remember that in the midsummer of that year, the frogs croaked in the pond.

    The simple and beautiful little girl in the field held the ears of rice and excitedly raised them to show him:

    Brother Sidao, I picked up a lot. I can make pancakes for you tomorrow.

    You don’t have to go hungry anymore!

    Being young and frivolous, I don’t know what it’s like, and there are many, many loves that I haven’t had time to tell her.
