hello! this has been bothering me for days so hopefully someone here will know it c:
it's in a historical setting, possibly ancient china? a lady mc starts dealing with textiles/clothes design (like, she sets trends or makes friends with seamstresses), and also opens a tea shop later in the story. her next door neighbor is a prince who catches interest and watches from afar; his butler often communicates with the mc on his behalf. the only specific bit i remember is that at one point, the prince goes to the north with an army and the mc sends them food/soup provisions to survive the winter.
much thanks in advance!
