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

Zhao Yuan pursed her lips and glared at Gu Xiao angrily.

She was unwilling to take a step back like this. Moreover, if she took a step back, wouldn't that mean that she was afraid of this woman? But if she didn't take a step back and really got into trouble with the instructor, then her future days…

She thought of how her parents had repeatedly reminded her at home that A University was different from her previous school. If something happened, they might not be able to protect her.

Zhao Yuan glared at Gu Xiao and Chu An again, then said fiercely to the maid, "What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to tidy up? I'm exhausted. I want to rest!"

Upon hearing Zhao Yuan's words, the maid hurriedly acknowledged and started to tidy up Zhao Yuan's bed again.

When the two bodyguards saw this, they looked at each other and returned to Zhao Yuan's side with the things that they had yet to hand over to the maid.

Shameless
