I’m a Craftswoman in Ancient Times

The night before her CET-6 exam, Chi Qiaoyu was still staying up late to finish handmade orders. Then, overnight, she transmigrated into a book as a cannon-fodder character! Not only were her parents framed and imprisoned until they died by the daughter of the prefect who had a crush on the original male lead, but the original male lead also slammed the door in the homeless Chi Qiaoyu's face. Just as she was about to end up on the streets, the suddenly bound Handicraft System gave her a chance to survive. She could exchange points for materials and level up to unlock designs. Not only were the costs extremely low, but her finished products were more exquisite than those made by other artisans. Making beaded accessories and jewelry, Chi Qiaoyu transformed into a street vendor. Her beautiful, affordable wares earned her a fortune. Just as she was planning to move out of the dilapidated temple where she was staying, a man in white collapsed right on top of her! Her bulging purse went toward buying medicinal soup, and the penniless scholar on the brink of death became her bookkeeper to repay his debt. The bookkeeper usually just lounged around and lived off her. But when Chi Qiaoyu was framed, his fierce threats against the prefect were enough to make anyone shudder! With the designs and materials she got from the System, along with her own creativity, Chi Qiaoyu upgraded her stall into a shop called Qiao Zhi Tang. She also attracted the collecting-obsessed Grand Princess, securing a powerful backer who could take on the prefect. Now she had a reputation, a powerful patron, and a bookkeeper. Chi Qiaoyu had a brainwave and began offering high-end custom designs. Noble young ladies and women from the imperial palace all clamored to become Qiao Zhi Tang's first customers. With a thriving business and a good man by her side, Chi Qiaoyu was just about to have a serious talk with her bookkeeper about their future when a group of people came looking for him, anxiously swarming around him and calling him "Little Prince". Before long, they were saying that His Majesty missed him! Chi Qiaoyu: "...Little Prince?" Seeing that he could no longer keep up the act, the bookkeeper, who had been scowling as if someone owed him ten million taels, instantly broke into a warm, tender smile when he saw her. He said: Xi Yizhi: "Yes, Your Highness." A few days later, teahouses and restaurants were abuzz with the news that the missing Prince Kang, His Majesty's younger brother, had finally been found after many days. He had returned to Xuanyang with a princess consort, who looked exactly like the proprietress of Qiao Zhi Tang! An alternate universe! Very alternate!
