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

The head chef of the imperial kitchen was under immense pressure. He still couldn't find a way to make the dried pears after racking his brains. While studying the recipe, he broke a piece of the original dried pear. This caused the crown prince to cry over it for some time. The head chef was really at his wits' end.

Eunuch Su looked at the plates of dried fruits regretfully. He couldn't tell what was wrong with them.

"These are either too dry or too soggy. The taste was not right either. It's too difficult to get things just right."

The head chef was on the verge of tears. He had been working in the imperial kitchen with his master since he was young. He had been working in the palace for more than forty years and had never encountered any problems. To think that he was now stumped by this little dried pear. It was really embarrassing.

"Young man, don't be anxious. Continue with your hard work."
