Everyday Life in Ancient Times

Unlucky Xin Yue dies in a car accident and transmigrates into an eight-year-old girl in ancient times who shares her name. Now she has a father who works as a clerk at the county yamen, a mother who is an embroiderer, a studious older brother, and a gluttonous younger brother. Xin Yue just wants to lie flat, but finds herself surrounded by people who are obsessed with working hard. Her father keeps trying to pass the imperial exams so he can become an official, even though he's nearly forty. Her mother uses her dowry to open an embroidery shop, determined to build up the family's savings for the children. Her clever and hardworking scholar of a brother is striving to become the top scorer in the exams. Even her gluttonous little brother grabs a brush at the age of three and insists on learning to write. To avoid seeming out of place in her family, Xin Yue has no choice but to study hard too. She knows a little about cooking and needlework. She knows a little about managing a household. She knows a little about poetry, calligraphy, painting, and music. Reader's Notes: 1.
