Youyou Ling: Ruosu

Blurb 1: The mountains grow green again, their beauty diminished. A gentle breeze passes through sparse bamboo, and the sun's golden shadows shift and break. Another year draws to a close, and soon the new spring will arrive. How much more can the heart bear? There is someone, as lovely as a flower, as beautiful as jade, gentle and clever. I had hoped to share affection and playful intimacy, to be as close as anyone could be. I'll put down roots and build a home, and you, too, should do your part. Together, we'll settle down. The best is yet to come. We'll stay together for a hundred years. From The You You Ling by Zhao Changqing

Blurb 2: One day, in some year and month, she visited the Palace of the King of Hell, a national 5A-rated tourist attraction. No sooner had she bought her ticket than a crooked tour guide, a white-haired Taoist who looked just like a zombie, led her astray, straight into the First Reign of the first generation to carry out a mission called "Changing Fate."

Unfortunately, she was always unlucky. She ran into the final boss as soon as she reached the beginner's village, and was in danger of getting killed at any moment. Later, the map changed to Fengzhang Palace. Good grief, there were more and more bosses, and any one of them could beat her with ease. Poor thing, she didn't have a golden finger or a single cheat. She was practically running around naked, right? Heavens, earth, somebody help!

P.S. 1. The story's main thread is romance, with family, friendship, teacher-student, and patriotic love as side threads, among others.

2. The setting is fictional. The author, Lao Yu, invented the country, its dynasties, and even the whole universe, though she also consulted sources from the Eastern Han and Wei-Jin periods. She has done her best to avoid absurd anachronisms like Guan Yu fighting Qin Qiong. If you spot any, please leave a comment to point them out. Lao Yu will correct any mistakes.

3. Lao Yu shamelessly asks for comments and bookmarks, and invites everyone to follow her Weibo.
