Xia Yuqing was a modern woman born in 1988. She never imagined that she would lose her life in a car accident while trying to snap up a bottle of limited-edition perfume, only to transmigrate into Gu Xiyu, whose mother, Concubine Zhang, had mysteriously drowned in a lotus pond when Xiyu was five. With no full siblings or maternal relatives to rely on, she must face her father's favoritism, her stepmother's neglect, and the joint bullying of her legitimate and half-sisters all by herself. But even if everyone looks down on her, she will strive to carve out her own place amid the rivalry between legitimate and illegitimate children.
She never expected, though, that the young man she met at eight would steal her heart and change her life forever...
Update schedule: I’ll try to update daily. Updates usually come between 6 and 8 a.m., or sometime between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. (On holidays, the schedule is unpredictable.)
I like humorous, funny writing, so this story will have plenty of modern jokes (that’s Miss Gu Xiyu’s job).

A guide to ancient Chinese timekeeping
When I first started reading classical Chinese, the appearance of Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao used to make my head spin and my brain feel like a tangled mess.
So I decided to put together a conversion chart for fellow classical Chinese fans who, like me, find the old timekeeping system daunting.
Zi hour (third watch): 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Chou hour (fourth watch): 1 to 3 a.m.
Yin hour (fifth watch): 3 to 5 a.m.
Mao hour: 5 to 7 a.m.
Chen hour: 7 to 9 a.m.
Si hour: 9 to 11 a.m.
Wu hour: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Wei hour: 1 to 3 p.m.
Shen hour: 3 to 5 p.m.
You hour: 5 to 7 p.m.
Xu hour (first watch): 7 to 9 p.m.
Hai hour (second watch): 9 to 11 p.m.

I came here specifically to comment and suggest that the author change the font. This traditional Chinese version looks very tiring. I read novels to relax, not to torture.
