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

"How long do you want me to stay?"

Jiang Danhe did not answer her but asked her instead.

"Hmm…" Xiaoguo hummed for a long time but did not speak. "You can stay as long as you possibly can."

In the end, she gave a reply, acting nonchalant about it.

"Huh?" Xiaoguo turned around and could only see half of Jiang Danhe's face.

"Do you prefer to have me at home or in the capital?"

It seemed that the two of them had never discussed this matter openly face-to-face. Although this was brought up in the letter before, they did not see each other in person, so it was impossible to tell what the other person's expression was.

Xiaoguo chuckled. "The rational part of me wants you to stay in the capital while the emotional side wants you to stay at home."

She was being honest and said whatever was on her mind.

"What do you mean by rational and emotional?"

Jiang Danhe wanted to hear her true thoughts.
