The genre of 'farming literature' has gained popularity in China, particularly among women, according to an article by Sixth Tone [f2333ca8]. Originating from simulation video games where players build and expand their territories, farming literature has evolved into a literary genre that explores the lives of female protagonists in rural settings. Initially, farming literature targeted male readers and featured heroes who developed agricultural, economic, military, and political systems. However, with the emergence of time travel stories featuring modern women in ordinary family homes, the genre shifted to female-dominant web novels. These novels focus on a female protagonist's efforts to get rich while navigating demanding relatives. The genre emphasizes the simple and ordinary life of the protagonist, creating emotional resonance. Unlike traditional 'Mary Sue' characters, the main characters in farming literature adhere to a code of conduct that rejects bullying and being bullied. The genre reflects a pushback against the concept of a 'perfect woman' and the idealization of imperfect women. However, it also highlights the conservative nature of society and the limited space in which women fight to affirm themselves and find satisfaction [f2333ca8].
