The Snack Stall by the Qinhuai River

Update paused. I'll improve the outline first and come back later. Currently updating The Easygoing Interstellar Life of a Female Beta

Also known as Like Brocade

The courtesans of Qinhuai are contract workers. When their contracts expire, they are free to leave.

Like Brocade ended up in this unfamiliar ancient world, becoming a "contract worker" at a pleasure boat on the Qinhuai River.

After actively turning over a new leaf, her life was as lovely as she'd imagined, but it didn't go as smoothly as she'd hoped.

Old acquaintances from her past appeared one after another: a handsome and stern marquis, a young lady friend who had become a concubine, and the original owner's large family back in the countryside.

The snack stall she set up by the Qinhuai River was soon full of chaos, too.

Like Brocade raised her fine eyebrows: ...I'm busy. Stop bothering me.

The male lead: Am I... bothering you, too?

Like Brocade's raised brows instantly smoothed out.

Some things are simply made for each other.

Theme: Even in adversity, keep your heart turned toward the light.
