You are Dead
One of the most popular fan theories around Stardew Valley is that the player is dead.

During this cutscene many observant players have noticed a skeleton at the desk, possible suggesting that this may be that players dead mortal body and the player experiences the events of the game as a spirit in a sort of heaven or afterlife
The Wizard’s Daughter
This theory revolves around the character of the Stardew Valley’s Wizard. In the game, as the player interacts with the Wizard, he will mention that he has reason to believe that one of the locals of the Pelican town may be his daughter.
The theory states that the Wizard’s mysterious daughter may be Abigail. The evidence for this is that Abigail seems very out of place around her family. She has very little interest in her fathers and seems to be talented in magic and the supernatural, reminsite of the Wizard himself, suggesting that Abigail may be related to him.
One of the most intriguing pieces of evidence that Abigail is actually the Wizard’s daughter is the accounts of her mother. Abigail’s mother, Caroline Offen recounts how she used to take secret visits to the Wizards towers many years ago. At a certain point in the game, Abigail’s father, Pierre, confides to the player that he doesn’t think Abigail looks very much like him and often wonders if she is actually his biological daughter.
Though there is a lot of speculation that this theory may be canon, it has not yet been confirmed by the show’s creator.
Linus Founded JojaMart
This theory revolves around the character Linus and his possible secret past life.
The theory states that Linus may actually be extremely wealthy from running JojaMart and that he has grown tired of his life of abundance and felt guilty about taking part in a big evil corporation, so he retreated into the woods to live a life of peace and quiet.
The evidence for this theory lies with the interactions the player has with Linus. He tells the player many times that he lives in a tent because he wants to, He claims he enjoys living in the tent because it allows him to be closer to nature and that it is in his nature to be self isolated.
Despite his living situation, Fans have noticed Linus can offer extremely large sums of money, sometimes even thousands for the player’s items. This theory would explain why he has access to so much money
