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

When Gu Xiao and Chu An saw Ji Gao walk in with his men, a glint flashed across their eyes. Then, the two of them looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

At this moment, the banquet had already started for a long time. Ji Gao had arrived late with his men, and he even looked like he had ill intentions. Instantly, he attracted the attention of most of the surrounding guests.

The guests' gazes wandered back and forth between Gu Xiao and Ji Gao. There was no lack of people who wanted to watch a good show.

Ji Gao stopped about three meters away from the high platform where Gu Xiao was and surveyed her.

Recalling what Du Li had said previously, Ji Gao looked at Gu Xiao with a dark glint in his eyes.

He put on a benevolent expression. "Xiaoxiao, although you've already cut ties with the Ji family, shouldn't you tell us about such a big matter like a celebratory banquet? I heard it from others."
