This Empress Is Bored

Qin Xiaoguo was a successful chef working in the future era. A turn of fate brought her to the past, into a time of famine and uncertainty. Waking up one day, Qin Xiaoguo found herself face to face with a boy who acknowledged her as his mother.
Having transmigrated from the year 3024 to 42 BC, Qin Xiaoguo had traveled across a three-millennium time leap to the past. She was transported to a destitute place, and also became mother to a hungry, skinny boy at the same time. 
Her only comfort to her new-found circumstances was a spatial ring that allowed her to transmigrate—giving her free access to food and other belongings from a different era.
After years of raising her son singlehandedly, Qin Xiaoguo had a surprise visitor at her door. It was a man claiming to be her husband, requesting to stay the night. Out of confusion and pity, Qin Xiaoguo let the self-proclaimed father of her child into the house.

Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

Magistrate Liu was sitting in the first carriage. With one look, he gestured for his men outside to register while he sat firmly within the carriage.

Jiang Danhe felt the carriage stop, so he lifted the curtain and looked ahead. He realized that it was just the usual registration process, so he sat back down in relief.

Soon, the convoy was let through. The moment the soldiers at the gates saw them, they sent someone to bring the letter back to the military camp. After all, with such a large group entering the city, it was standard procedure to inform the governor.

When they arrived at the inn where they were going to stay, Magistrate Liu kindly handed Jiang Danhe a key. Xiaoguo waited for the magistrate to pass one to her. To her surprise, there was only one key. After handing it to Jiang Danhe, the magistrate left happily, as if he had done something good.
