I Never Meant to Be a Passing Breeze

One day, Jing Tang fell into the water and found herself in an unfamiliar dynasty. She thought it would be one of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, or Qing, but although this place seemed similar to the history she knew, its technological development had taken a completely different path. Fine, it's a period setting, but why are there steam engines and electricity? And all these wildly reimagined modern conveniences? Wait, she's just a little cook who barely escaped death. Whether it's a prince or a royal heir, can't they let her live out her old age in peace? I had no wish to be a breeze passing through a hall, yet my lonely pride summoned a mountain flood. Peaceful retirement was no longer an option. She'd disguised herself as a man in her early years just to survive, never expecting to make something of herself in the end, and even bring a handsome man home!
