I Love Farming

❤️ Main Relationship

江谈微 (Jiang Tanwei) × 崔栖潮 (Cui Qichao)

✨ Introduction

Wo Ai Zhong Tian is a love letter to agriculture wearing the disguise of a quick-transmigration novel. Cui Qichao awakens two heritages at once: the bloodline of Shennong, the Flame Emperor and divine farmer, and the emperor aura of an ancient sovereign. Every instinct in his body points the same way — he does not want the throne; he wants land. Field after field, furrow after furrow, crop rotation and irrigation, pest control and harvest: farming makes him happy, and the world will simply have to adapt.

A live-streaming company, smelling ratings, signs him for a cross-dimensional show: he will be dropped into scripted worlds — a campus romance, a medieval fief, an interstellar ABO empire, a xianxia demon realm — and the audience will watch him farm them all. The audience gets more than it bargained for. In every world, the single-minded farmer upends the plot simply by planting things, and at his side through all of it travels Xiao Bai: a cat who is smug, jealous, food-motivated, and — as the show's producers and eventually Cui Qichao learn — very much more than a cat. Xiao Bai is Jiang Tanwei, the ancestor of the cat demons, and the one soul who follows Cui Qichao across every world and out the other side into reality.

🌏 Background

The novel runs on a show-within-the-book structure: scripted genre worlds (campus, medieval, interstellar, cultivation) observed by a live audience that starts out expecting romance and ends up binge-watching agronomy. Each arc is a self-contained farming build — from cafeteria vegetable plots to castle demesnes to fully automated star-sector plantations — interleaved with cooking, food culture, and the quiet comedy of protagonists whose stories keep derailing into harvest festivals. Beneath the pastoral surface, the frame story about the streaming company, the nature of the "show," and Xiao Bai's true identity tightens slowly, resolving in a reunion that pays off every world the two spent together.

🎭 Themes & Tone

- Farming as the highest calling: cultivation, kingship, and showbiz all bend to the plow

- Competence porn, pastoral edition: seeds, seasons, and logistics as narrative pleasure

- The cat as emotional core: jealousy, devotion, and dramatic flair in one fluffy package

- Subverting scripted worlds by ignoring their plots completely

- Food as the universal language — every arc feeds someone

Tone: unhurried, warm, and dryly funny; conflict melts into compost; the payoff is always a meal.

👥 Main Characters

- 崔栖潮 (Cui Qichao) — the shou: bearer of Shennong's bloodline and an emperor's aura; serene, stubborn, and happiest ankle-deep in a paddy

- 小白 / 江谈微 (Xiao Bai / Jiang Tanwei) — the gong: Cui Qichao's cat, actually the Yinjing ancestor of all cat demons; proud, theatrical, and devoted past all reason

- 林琳 (Lin Lin) — the streaming executive who signs Cui Qichao and spends the entire series regretting and profiting in equal measure

- The world protagonists — scripted leads whose romances and power fantasies keep losing screen time to cabbages

✨ Iconic Quote

- 崔栖潮 (Cui Qichao): "I love farming. Farming makes me happy." (我爱种田，种田使我快乐！) — the novel's signature line, from its official blurb
