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

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!

Hence, Gu Xiao went up to An Yang and Chen Li and said softly to them, "No matter what the production team requests, you have to say what you're thinking. Only by being true can you move everyone."

The two of them nodded in confusion, not knowing what Gu Xiao meant.

Soon, the car had driven back to the villa. The director arranged for the children to stay outside a room and called them into the room to answer questions,one after another. Of course, the questions and answers were templated.

First, it was those girls from the rural group. Gu Xiao was the last member of the rural group. However, An Yang and Chen Li gave Gu Xiao a thumbs up after being questioned. Seeing them like this, Gu Xiao was relieved.

"Next, Gu Xiao!"

Gu Xiao walked into the room. There was only a table, a chair, and a huge teleprompter behind the camera.

The director's face was dark. It was obvious that they did not answer according to his expectations, but he still had to pretend to be calm and ask Gu Xiao questions.

The first question was, "Gu Xiao, after your experience during the past two days, who do you like the most and who do you hate the most?"

It was a very straightforward question.

The teleprompter also showed the answer. "I like Ji Yao the most because her family is very rich and my family is very poor, so I really want to be a child of a rich family. I hate Chen Li the most because I feel that she has the aura of a country bumpkin. It's so disgusting."

Gu Xiao scoffed and moved her gaze away from the teleprompter. She said in a very gentle voice, "I have a good impression of everyone. Ji Yao is a strong leader, Lin Xue is good-looking, and has a high EQ. Although Meng Fei is a little rash, she has a straightforward personality. An Yang and Chen Li are even more straightforward. We just won because of our hard work and cooperation. Of course, I won't hate anyone. Everyone has their own shining points."

As soon as she finished speaking, the comments went wild.

[Little angel Gu Xiao!]

[Wuwuwu, she is really too nice. I really like Gu Xiao.]

[She's really… I'm going to cry myself to death.]

The director broke down and simply asked his assistant to turn off the teleprompter. This teleprompter was originally prepared for the few of them, but in the end, none of them looked at it at all.

Second question: "If you were asked to choose a person to swap with, who would you like to choose the most?"

"If I have to choose, I want to choose Meng Fei."

The bullet screen was filled with question marks.

"Meng Fei's family is involved in business. If I trade with Meng Fei, I might be able to find more sales for my parents' crops and help them lighten their burden."

On the third question, the director took two cookies from the table. "If I gave you two really good cookies, who would you give the other one to?"

"Yes…" Gu Xiao rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while. Then, she said, "I won't eat even a single piece. I'll give one to you, Director. Thank you for giving us this opportunity. The other… I'll give it to Ji Yao because she's really outstanding. She knows everything. I want to be like her."

After the three questions, Gu Xiao smiled again and slowly walked out of the room.

The director was stunned. No one knew what he was thinking.

Next, the director called a few children from the city team. Unfortunately, none of them answered like how Gu Xiao did, with an answer that did not offend either party. Instead, they answered every question very clearly. Gu Xiao's answer in the beginning could be said to be a standard answer. This made the audience have a very average impression of the children from the city.

This was especially so for Meng Fei. Not only did she name all five of the people she hated, she even said things like "I won't switch with anyone" and "I could just eat both cookies myself". This caused the audience to despise her even more. As a result, everyone liked Gu Xiao more and more.

On the real-time popularity rankings, Gu Xiao and An Yang had defeated Ji Yao in one go and became the first and second, while Ji Yao could only be ranked third.

This was the last segment of this episode. Gu Xiao sighed and returned to her room to lie down.

She looked at the ceiling light, and was dazzled.

Thinking back to the past two days, she had taken revenge on Ji Yao and showed the audience how she, An Yang and Chen Li were really like.

The program progress in the past few days had changed drastically from her previous life. The only one that remained unchanged was Meng Fei. However, after her parents found out about this, they immediately spent a lot of money to help her settle the matter.

After a busy day, everyone was very tired and soon fell asleep.

The only one who couldn't stay calm was the director.

"Hello? I'm Director Xu Dong."

"Yes, Director Xu, you should know why I called you, right?"

"I know. Don't be angry. Ji Yao… we're already trying our best to help her, but we can't make it too obvious on the show. The audience can tell if it's too obvious."
