Heart Events with the Forbidden Farmer Next Door

He’s the hot, grumpy, secretly-sensitive retired adventurer in my favorite cozy game… …and I’m living on the farm next door.

Ever since I found Vale of Gems, my single complaint about the game has been that its most eligible bachelor—Samson the tattooed dreamboat—is unromanaceble.

Now that I’ve woken up in his world, though, that is going to change. So long as my anxiety and his internal coding don’t have anything to say about it, I’ll romance him right into a wedding.

Problem is, the game world isn’t exactly the way I remember it.

With the realism mod active, it’s as though I’m playing on hard mode, so survival might need to take a predominant position on my quest page.

And overprotective Samson might need to take me under his broad-shouldered wing.
