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

Under Gu Xiao's constant persuasion, Chu An still decided to agree to this opportunity to go to the laboratory with his mentor.

After the two discussed, Gu Xiao seemed to have finally thought of something and pulled away from Chu An again.

"Have you told Uncle and Auntie about this?"

Upon hearing Gu Xiao's words, Chu An's body stiffened for a moment. Then, he blinked his eyes and looked at Gu Xiao blankly.

Seeing Chu An's reaction, Gu Xiao understood.

For the past two days, Chu An had probably been completely conflicted about whether he should go or not. He had never thought of discussing it with Mr Chu and Mrs Chu.

Gu Xiao glanced at Chu An helplessly, then took out her phone to look at the time. She turned to Chu An and said, "At this time, Uncle and Auntie shouldn't be resting yet. Do you plan to tell them today or tomorrow?"
