Going to Ancient Times to Do Makeup

[Announcement: My new novel, Reborn in 1997, is now underway. It's a farming story about starting life over. I hope you'll continue to support me, everyone. Muah!] After finding success in her career, Nie Qinghe retreated to the mountains to live the idle life of a layabout. Netizens and the media made her an online celebrity from "ancient times." Then one day, she accidentally really did travel to ancient times. The original owner was beautiful and innocent, utterly devoted to her childhood betrothed, a young scholar. But while he enjoyed her care, he treated her coldly. When Nie Qinghe stopped paying attention to him, he began to feel anxious and asked why she was the only one ignoring him. Nie Qinghe: I burned paper money for you. In my heart, you're a dead man from the underworld, so go cool your heels wherever you like! I'm done taking care of you! * * * Her family has nothing but the four walls of their home. Her parents are a little meek but loving, and life is poor but fun. The layabout decides to make a small effort and help her family achieve food freedom, clothing freedom, and housing freedom. Before she knows it, she's set off down the broad road of building a career and never looks back. * * * Boss Nie has a savior: the young marquis, handsome beyond compare and incredibly strong, but with a capricious personality. They say he beat his own father at the age of nine and drew his sword to kill his stepmother. His family sent him to study, but he secretly ran off to join the army and fight. Nie Qinghe looks at He Yu beside her. His long lashes are lowered, and the tips of his ears are red. He's cold on the outside but obedient and deeply devoted. He's clearly socially anxious, so why does everyone call him an obsessive maniac? Little Scene He Yu [nervously]: Since you like me so much, let's get married. Nie Qinghe [teasing]: Don't make things up. I don't. He Yu [eyes wide with shock]: If you don't know what's good for you, I'll... Nie Qinghe [grinning]: You'll what? He Yu [haughtily]: I'll quit my job and marry into your family! * * * The author, who is terrible at writing blurbs, says this is an ancient-style farming story focused on daily life.

Now that the prince and princess are even more pleased with her, they want her to manage the mansion's kitchen and cook for their son and grandson for the rest of her life.
