Gu Xiaocong never thought she'd reincarnate in the present timeline after transmigrating to the ancient past for twenty-four years! In her previous life, Gu Xiaocong grew up in the countryside with parents who didn't love her. When they heard that their neighbor's daughter was working outside and making money, they forced her to quit school and participate in a reality show in exchange for seven hundred dollars.

Gu Xiaocong's life changed because of this show. The participants of the show were all ordinary folks. The content of the livestreams was to show the difference between girls who grew up in the countryside and girls who grew up in the city. The program team edited the show with ill intentions so Gu Xiaocong would be labeled as the 'uncultured hillbilly'. She would then become the victim of cyberbullying.

Three years later, Gu Xiaocong's biological parents found her. Only then did she realize that her original parents were human traffickers. They swapped Gu Xiaocong with their own daughter so that the latter could have a good life. Meanwhile, the girl from the city, Gu Xiaocong's polar opposite on the show, was actually the human trafficker's biological daughter. The masterminds who caused her to become the victim of cyberbullying turned out to be her birth parents! However, they didn't feel guilty at all. They still sided with the fake young lady they raised. They believed the fake young lady was innocent, and they constantly picked on Gu Xiaocong for going against the fake young lady.

Gu Xiaocong finally broke down from the torture day after day, and she ended her life by jumping off the balcony. To her surprise, she transmigrated to the ancient past. She relied on her own capabilities to transform from an ordinary citizen to an empress. That place was like home to her. 

However, to her surprise, she reincarnated in her original world one day. Gu Xiaocong decided to turn the tables by sending her adoptive parents to prison. She wanted to accomplish all her previous goals and make her biological parents regret their decision!

An Empress's Return to the Present: The Real Young Lady's Strong Comeback

[Why isn't anyone speaking up for Yaoyao? Anyway, Yaoyao is the best in my heart. Besides, how can you prove that the person they switched is Yaoyao? Besides, so what if it's really Yaoyao? The Ji family didn't say anything. Why are you outsiders so agitated?]

[Fans without values are really scary. Before the lawsuit, the video of Gu Xiao and Ji Yao being swapped was already played, but you still don't believe it. However, you reminded me now. How will the Ji family deal with Ji Yao now? Looking at the photos two days ago, Ji Yao should have already recognized these are her biological parents, right?]

[I suddenly thought of a possibility. If Ji Yao knows Gu Xiao's identity, could she have deliberately chosen Gu Xiao when she participated in the urban-rural show? After all, there are so many children in the countryside. Why did she happen to choose her? Thinking of this, I suddenly feel that Ji Yao is so scheming.]
