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

"That I chose the sea as my final resting place…"

Xiaoguo shook her head calmly. "It's quite a good idea. Better than being buried in the soil and suffering the pain of being bitten by bugs and rotting in the soil."

"Haha, I was afraid that my thoughts would sound strange."

Zhao Yuyan seemed to have found a confidante. She told Xiaoguo a lot, including why she wanted to be cremated.

In this era where soil burial was the norm, cremation seemed like an irrational idea.

Ever since Zhao Yuyan had this thought, she was worried that her idea would be frowned upon.

She had lived too mundanely in the better half of her life. She was a swallow at heart. Since she could not soar in the blue skies and white clouds, then she would wander in the vast and gentle sea instead.

"Can you bear to leave everything behind?"
