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

To Xiaoguo's surprise, everyone else in the village started lighting firecrackers too.

Qin Anming and Zhuang Zhuang had a lot of fun lighting up the firecrackers. When they returned to the house, the other families started lighting firecrackers as well.

The lively sounds lasted through the entire night.

Until the next morning, there were still some families joining in the festivities.

After making the bed, Xiaoguo went to the kitchen.

The first thing she did was turn on the stove and throw in a few pieces of charcoal.

Every day, after doing this, she will prepare to cook.

Xiaoguo woke up early today, so candlelight was needed to light up the house. Zhuang Zhuang and Qin Anming were still asleep. Xiaoguo picked up the pork shoulder, chicken, and a piece of square meat from the basin and placed them in the pot to cook.
