The Convicted Wife Who Farms the Frontier and Raises a God of War (发配边关，罪妻开荒养出战神)

The Convicted Wife Who Farms the Frontier and Raises a God of War (发配边关，罪妻开荒养出战神, nicknamed 罪妻战神) is a Chinese 3D animated microdrama series (漫剧), described by the Chinese outlet Pedaily, republishing a Newrank (新榜) article, as an AI short drama. It is made under the name "大多多动画" (Dadouduo Animation) and adapts a web novel of the same name. Pedaily's source says the maker is an individual creator, a woman who runs a fan group; other accounts describe the studio as a couple from Sichuan, which is unconfirmed.

Newrank counted that the first season passed 2 billion plays on Douyin, and that by mid-July 2026 the series had reached season 8 with more than 4 billion Douyin plays in total and over 10 million saves on the Hongguo short-drama app. Season 9 had more than 1.11 million reservations a day after season 8 went up. Newrank writes that it became one of the year's biggest dark horses in the short-drama market, with no face-slapping reversals, and credits it with pushing a wave of farming-themed AI microdramas: DataEye data it cites put farming and land-clearing titles at over a fifth of the top 100 AI short dramas in June 2026.

The series was released in fast succession. Newrank reports the second season came out two days after the first, and all seven seasons were out in under a month. The maker explained to fans that a season of 60 to 100 minutes takes three to four days of non-stop work plus another three to four days from submission for review to release; from season 6 the pace followed the source novel's updates. Seasons are also uploaded in compilations to YouTube by other channels, including the 破晓动漫社 (Dawn Anime Club) collection of seasons 1 to 7.

The success set off what Newrank calls a contest of "one book, many adaptations": on Hongguo alone there are 14 versions of the same novel, among them a 3D comic version, a realistic-human version and a livelier-heroine version, with many commentary-style videos on Douyin. The maker uses behind-the-scenes clips and in-character announcements to say that hers is the only authentic version and to describe its anti-fake labels. Newrank also counts at least 17 farming-themed AI microdramas with more than 100 million Douyin plays each.
