Synopsis:

Xiao Jingting, a postgraduate agriculture student transmigrates to family outcast in the wild mainland. Xiao Jingting, who has been single for more than 20 years, is excited to find that he has a handsome male wife, but his wife sleep in another room, and his two sons treat him like a monster. Xiao Jingting was somewhat frustrated to find that his predecessor was a scum who was only good at eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling and even beat his wife and children.

Now, how could he reverse his image?

Impressions: Hmm... this is basically, cultivating into the peak of life with your whole family in tow~ XD

So our MC transmigrates into a scumbag. The original already has a ger wife and 2 sons. This new world is a cultivation world. After MC transmigrates with his magical space, of course, his personality changed and his shou discovered it but he was happy with MC (eldest son also discovered it). So our MC and shou family's life started to get better. He also meets the relatives of the original and became close to his second brother. Some family schemes and conspiracies, an arrogant big bro, eccentric parents and conniving relatives etc. There are some faceslapping happening, you know, the typical drama. It's fun to watch though XD

Laters, MC left their small town and traveled around with his family. His 2nd son gets invited/taken away to join a Sect because of his qualifications, so MC & shou also worked hard to earn money so they can go to the Sect to see their son. After getting there, MC became a spiritual planter near the sect. Eldest son also worked hard to enter the Sect. The MC family gets reunited. Some adventures, secret realms etc later and MC also becomes a powerful cultivator (but its a secret), winning so many treasures, and of course, offending major forces, MC family fleds to a different continent(?).  Eldest son and second son, found their side CPs in this arc.

In the new continent, MC and his whole family became powerful, some faceslapping, another secret realm, MC winning the treasure again and being hunted then going back to his Continent after he became quite powerful. Then MC reunites with the original's second brother, and laters, the original father (They already discovered that MC is not really their son/brother but didn't say anything.) They also discover shou's hidden identity and shou's parents are added to MC's family XD They stay in this Continent for a long time until MC reached the peak then decided to ascend/go t the fairy realm. (Only MC and shou)

After ascending, they got separated and MC became a spiritual planter again. Some troubles, MC and shou reunites then MC living low-key selling pills. Laters, their third son also accidentally ascend and after meeting his side CP gong, they reunite with MC. So MC's all three kids are now married. XD Some adventures etc, cultivation, and MC's 2 other sons and their side CP also ascend. Then MC family is reunited. MC becomes famous as an alchemist for pill-refining. Laters, it was revealed that his cultivation is also very strong. Anyway, step by step until he became a top-rank alchemist (9th level alchemist) and also high cultivation rank (Immortal Emperor?). The ending was a bit abrupt but it was sweet so I guess its okay? Lol. 

​Hmm... I've been reading nothing but fluff so its been awhile since I've read a novel with so many ups and down, lol, faceslapping etc.

At first I thought it would be a farming novel (cos of the title) and it was a bit at first, with MC growing plants in the village then doing business like the normal poor-to-rich trope, but then it became about cultivation with MC winning treasures and getting stronger and being hunted down so MC and his whole family escape, rinse and repeat. It's just instead of just MC, it's MC and his whole family, their family also starts growing either by adding in their in-laws or one of MC's son get married etc. When MC is weak, the 'stronger' relatives would be his backing and when he gets stronger, he'll help them back. I suppose it's the usual development~ It just never gets tiring, cos when you've had enough of MC's adventure, the next arc would be about his son and his side CP, or about helping his in-laws solve their problems etc. When their family is separated, it'll show what's happening in MC's side and then switch to what's happening over on his son's side. Overall, it has a nice pacing so you don't feel that its too repetitive. It's also one of the reasons, I was able to binge-read it.

Drawbacks would have to be too... short? Lol, I KNOW it's 397 chaps but seeing that you've got MC and his whole family. I hoped that other characters would be focused on as well. Like his son and their respective CPs, there were arcs when they got together with their CPs but later, there were only brief mentions of their adventures. I mean, there was so much potential (arcs?) there, like the 2nd son CP life in the Sect when they ascended or Eldest son side CP life when they were in the Octopus family, but it was only briefly mentioned when they were reporting to MC after their reunion. I guess, the arcs became more and more MC-focused after they ascended, even shou was only there as an accessory. This was why I felt that the ending was a bit abrupt cos the later arcs was mostly about MC getting stronger and stronger then suddenly, they went to 'retire'(?), having a 'world of two people' then a #spoiler Wedding of a Century. Sometimes, I don't even know where the shou is, cos only MC would be having conversations. In the lower realm, eldest son CP and 2nd son both had kids (the shous were pregnant) then when they ascended, there was no mention of the kiddies anymore. What happened??? The family-centric plot slowly changed to MC-centric in the later arcs, although I didn't realized when I was reading it cos of the pacing.

Overall, it was good since I was able to binge read it. Just that, I guessed I hoped the other family members would also be focused on like in the first couple of arcs (cos like I said, the later arcs became more MC-centric). My fave part would have to be when 2nd son was in the Sect (and not allowed to go outside) so MC and his whole family worked hard so they can all reunite~ Ha... the good old first couple of arcs. Lol. I wanted more romance/fluff ~~

Anyways, read this for upgrade text, (weak to strong) and family cos although, shou and MC's sons didn't get much focused on in the later arcs, but in the end, they were all always together helping each other. (When MC was still weak, it was always a group fight. Lol XD)
