Do you think I should apply to Tsinghua University or Beijing University?

The Cheng Family: …————————

Work Review:

Waking up, XueJiao, who had just finished the National College Entrance Examination, transmigrated into Gu Xuejiao, a pampered, willful Female Supporting Character who specialized in ruining the Male Lead and Female Lead's relationship. Thinking of her tragic end in this life, XueJiao decided it would be better to do the 'Study guides ' exercises again, which she had just finished.

This is a story about a Female Lead who is determined to study, successfully gets into Tsinghua University through hard work, and changes the people around her. The whole text is lighthearted and humorous, the Female Lead is inspiring and positive, each character is vividly portrayed, and while the plot is full of twists and turns, it is also filled with the inspiring positivity of youth.

Chapter 1: Transmigration

Most of the day had passed, and XueJiao was still a bit dazed. Although she was a famous "Bookworm," her intelligence was definitely above the passing line.

Waking up, she not only became another person, but her mind also gained that person's memories and the content of a book.

So, she transmigrated?

Or possessed a character in a book?

At this moment, what XueJiao thought of was not becoming a Female Supporting Character, nor the tragic end of this Female Supporting Character being left to rot in the wilderness, but—why did she die before seeing her National College Entrance Examination results?!

Eighteen years of hard work, she finally finished the exam, but how could she die before seeing the results?

XueJiao, eighteen years old, just finished the National College Entrance Examination, no parents.

Gu Xuejiao, sixteen years old, about to enter Grade Two of Senior High School, parents divorced, mother Li Sitong remarried into the Cheng Family with her.

Now, XueJiao had become Gu Xuejiao.

"Gu Xuejiao!" As she was lost in thought, a woman walked in furiously.

It was the original owner's mother, Li Sitong.

XueJiao thought this, her eyes still full of unfamiliarity.

As soon as Li Sitong saw her sitting blankly on the bed, anger surged, and she raised her hand, slapping her across the face.

"Pa—"

The loud sound accompanied by pain. XueJiao, who was already in a daze, completely froze at this moment.

This was this body's mother, her biological mother.

After waking up, she had not only her own memories but also the memories of this book, so she knew that the relationship between this mother and daughter was not good, but she hadn't expected Li Sitong to actually hit her directly. She froze for a moment and couldn't dodge.

After hitting her, Li Sitong also froze, looking at her hand, then at XueJiao, whose face was somewhat red.

She opened her mouth, and finally just said, "You're starting school the day after tomorrow. Tonight, the Old Residence will hold a farewell dinner for you. Gu Xuejiao, you must apologize to Ming Jiao tonight!"

She paused, then added, "I'll go to the Old Residence first. I'll pick you up at five o'clock. Wash off all that messy stuff on your face!"

After Li Sitong finished speaking, she turned and walked out. XueJiao raised her hand to touch her face, her expression momentarily bewildered.

Is this really her biological mother?

In her own world, XueJiao had nothing to miss except her National College Entrance Examination results. Now that she was Gu Xuejiao, she had two more years until the National College Entrance Examination. She would have two extra years, and she would surely be able to score better than her former self, who had to work and study at the same time, right?

Thinking of this, her face no longer hurt, her mood was no longer complicated, and she was no longer bewildered. She only wished she could immediately take out the 'Study guides ' exercises, which she had only done once, and do them twice more.

No, there were two more years; she could do them five more times!

XueJiao got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom. As soon as she entered, she froze.

Bright red hair, two large hoops hanging from her ears, her eyes smudged black above and below, three layers of powder on her face, bright red lips, making her original appearance unrecognizable.

"Ghost—"

—

XueJiao washed her face for a while before it was clean. The face in the mirror was eighty percent similar to hers, with the remaining twenty percent being more delicate. Her features were too exquisite, and with a bit of baby fat and large, watery eyes, she looked very young.

Only that wild red hair was a bit of an eyesore.

She tied her hair into a bun with a rubber band, pinning up her red bangs. Although it was still an eyesore, it was much more normal.

It was already 4:30 PM, half an hour until they had to go to the Cheng Family's Old Residence.

The slap from her mother today hurt a lot. If she hadn't known the content of the book, she would have been very angry.

But knowing what would happen tonight made her unable to be angry.

Gu Xuejiao's father had an affair. When she was ten, her mother divorced him and remarried into the Cheng Family with her, marrying the eldest son, Cheng Shuo.

Instigated by her father, Gu Jingxu, and her stepmother, she believed her mother remarried for wealth and status.

Plus, during those years in the Cheng Family, Li Sitong had shown excessive care for her stepson Cheng Mingze, and her younger female cousin Cheng Mingjiao provoked her from time to time, making the mother-daughter relationship worse and worse.

Li Sitong was very strict with her. During her rebellious phase, Gu Xuejiao, in order to defy her and attract attention, refused to study, got into fights, and dressed up like a delinquent girl all day to provoke her.

XueJiao was somewhat speechless.

Gu Xuejiao had been pampered since childhood; she focused her mind on such nonsensical matters and was easily incited by others, just like the scene she caused today.

Li Sitong was discussing with Old Master Cheng to get her into the Key Class, but she and Cheng Mingjiao had a fight, and the other party fell down the stairs herself to frame her.

Gu Xuejiao was furious but lacked the intelligence to prove her innocence. In a fit of rage, she made harsh remarks at the Cheng Family's Old Residence and ran back.

Then XueJiao arrived.

In the original story, Li Sitong also returned, and Gu Xuejiao had a big fight with her and ran away from home.

To find Gu Xuejiao, Li Sitong was in such a hurry that she overturned her car at the foot of the mountain and died on the spot.

XueJiao closed her eyes slightly. She naturally didn't have deep feelings for Li Sitong, but she didn't want her to die either.

So, she definitely had to go to the dinner at the Old Residence tonight.

Five o'clock.

XueJiao went downstairs and was driven to the Old Residence by the Cheng Family's driver.

The Cheng Family's Old Residence.

"Sister-in-law, you must discipline the child properly. You can't pamper her too much, otherwise, it's not just embarrassing, it's also hurtful..." Cheng Mingjiao's mother, Liu Yazhen, said meaningfully.

This Li Sitong was more beautiful than her and very well-liked by her husband, but in the matter of children, she surpassed her a thousand or ten thousand times over.

She had an outstanding eldest daughter and a young son, while the other party's daughter was a failure and an embarrassment, and her son... was not her own.

Thinking of this, she lifted her chin proudly.

Li Sitong's face turned red with shame. Cheng Shuo, who was talking to Cheng Kai nearby, saw this and waved to her: "Sitong, come over here for a moment!"

She gave Cheng Shuo a grateful look and walked over quickly.

Liu Yazhen curled her lip, looked at Cheng Mingze who was being pulled into conversation by the old master, and said to Cheng Mingjiao next to her: "The Cheng Family genes are indeed good. It's a pity that no matter how good they are, she didn't give birth to him. Why doesn't she look at what kind of thing her biological child is?"

Cheng Mingjiao nodded, then curled her lip: "The Cheng Family indeed couldn't produce someone like Gu Xuejiao. That burden is truly a disgrace to the Cheng Family."

——

When XueJiao stepped into the Cheng Family's main gate, the nanny was already serving the dishes, while the rest of the Cheng Family were still sitting on the sofa.

This family was not large. The two elders of the Cheng Family only had two sons: the eldest, Cheng Shuo, and his son Cheng Mingze; and the second, Cheng Kai, and Liu Yazhen's daughter Cheng Mingjiao and son Cheng Mingyu.

The first person XueJiao noticed was Cheng Mingze—the Male Lead of this book.

They didn't dress formally for the family dinner. Cheng Mingze wore a white shirt and jeans. Though only a seventeen-year-old youth, he was already about 1.8 meters tall, handsome and elegant, clean from head to toe. Just sitting there, he brought a different kind of aura.

She was stunned for a moment, then walked over slowly: "Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Cheng, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Brother, Ming Jiao, Mingyu."

This time, it was the Cheng Family's turn to be stunned. The girl before them had a clean and delicate face, wearing a T-shirt and jeans. She lowered her head slightly and greeted them obediently. If not for that red meatball head, they probably wouldn't have associated this girl with Gu Xuejiao.

However, this girl had always been unreliable, and they didn't know what kind of trouble she was brewing again.

"Cough, cough—" Old Master Cheng coughed and stood up. "Since everyone is here, let's start the meal."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's eat!" Cheng Shuo and the second son of the Cheng Family supported the two elders of the Cheng Family as they moved toward the dining table.

Li Sitong approached Gu Xuejiao and breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at her clean appearance, she opened her mouth and finally only said stiffly: "Don't cause trouble tonight!"

After saying that, she followed the others toward the dining table.

No wonder the mother-daughter relationship was strained; it seemed Li Sitong was also partly to blame.

XueJiao shrugged slightly, not caring, and followed behind them.

——

The Old Residence's nanny had great skills. XueJiao hadn't eaten lunch, so she ate heartily, while the others were somewhat preoccupied.

Their gazes drifted toward her from time to time. The Cheng Family didn't have the habit of not speaking during meals, so Liu Yazhen couldn't help herself: "XueJiao has actually become normal today, no longer dressing up like neither a human nor a ghost."

XueJiao's eating movements paused. She looked up slightly, revealing a clean smile. Her small face and baby fat already made her look young, and when she smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, looking exceptionally lovely.

"Yes, I was immature before, but I won't be in the future."

Cheng Mingjiao gripped her chopsticks tightly. She hadn't expected Gu Xuejiao's cleaned-up face to be so beautiful!

If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but it had to be this burden she detested!

Not knowing what she thought of, a worried look appeared on her face: "By the way, older female cousin, although your grades are some distance from the Experimental Class, you can't give up on yourself. Are you really not going to the Experimental Class?"

Some distance... she really thought highly of Gu Xuejiao!

There were only two experimental classes for over a thousand students in the entire grade. Her grades were at the bottom of the grade, a whole grade level away from the Experimental Class.

If the original Gu Xuejiao had heard this, she would have definitely exploded, but now it was XueJiao, a... "Bookworm" who loved learning.

Her eyes lit up, and she looked at Cheng Mingjiao with a radiant gaze, as if Cheng Mingjiao were her favorite person in the world.

"Right! Ming Jiao is right!" She nodded heavily, saying sincerely, earnestly, and firmly, "I cannot give up on myself. Being able to enter the Experimental Class is my honor!"

Gu Xuejiao, Cheng Mingjiao, and Cheng Mingze all attended Second High School, a nationally renowned high school. The teaching staff in their Experimental Class was absolutely far superior to the school Gu Xuejiao attended in her past life!

In her past life, her estimated score was just about enough for a first-tier university, and with a bit of luck, she might have made it into a 211 university. In this life, Gu Xuejiao had a good family background; she didn't need to work part-time, and she had two extra years to review...

Wouldn't that mean she could set her sights on the university she wanted to attend most?

Thinking of this, the light in her eyes was almost blinding. "Ming Jiao! What you said is truly wonderful!"

"..."

There was a moment of silence at the dining table. Almost everyone opened their mouths slightly, staring at her in a daze.

After a while, Cheng Shuo coughed, "Ahem, right, study hard. Don't worry, Jiao Jiao, everything has already been arranged."

Ten-year-old Cheng Mingyu shoveled a mouthful of rice and said coldly, "The Experimental Class kicks people out every semester. Even if you go and stay for one semester, won't you just get kicked out anyway?"

"Mingyu!" Cheng Kai glared at him. Cheng Mingyu pursed his lips, looking at XueJiao with disdain.

These younger members of the Cheng Family all despised her to the extreme.

The Old Madam also frowned. She had never liked this child who did not share the Cheng Family's bloodline, but since Cheng Shuo protected her, she barely considered her one of their own. However, Gu Xuejiao was simply too unreliable, leaving the Cheng Family completely disappointed.

She glanced at the Old Master, who put down his chopsticks: "XueJiao, we sent you into the Experimental Class because we naturally hope you will study hard. If you don't do well by the end of the semester and get kicked out, we won't care anymore."

As soon as his words fell, Cheng Mingjiao raised her eyebrows and looked at her mockingly, with a gloating attitude.

XueJiao nodded and said seriously, "That is only right."

The dining table went quiet again. During the meal, except for XueJiao, who was eating attentively, everyone else was distracted.

——

After the meal, Cheng Shuo, Cheng Kai, and the Old Master went to the study to discuss company business, and the two daughters-in-law accompanied the Old Madam for a walk, leaving the four of them standing in the middle of the living room.

Cheng Mingjiao lifted her chin and pulled Cheng Mingze and Cheng Mingyu to sit on one side. "Brother Ze, Mingyu said he has some questions he wants to ask you. Let's sit here and chat for a while!"

As she spoke, she looked at XueJiao as if to show off. Unlike the explosive anger she had imagined, XueJiao sat down on the sofa on the other side, staring blankly at a corner.

Cheng Mingjiao felt as if her punch had landed on cotton, and she grew sullen instead.

Until everyone came downstairs, XueJiao kept looking in one direction without moving at all. Let alone Cheng Mingjiao and Cheng Mingyu, even Cheng Mingze looked at her several times in surprise.

As soon as Li Sitong saw XueJiao sitting alone, far away from them, her heart skipped a beat, fearing that she was making trouble again.

"Jiao Jiao?"

No response.

She felt even more panicked, afraid that this troublesome child was preparing for another major outburst.

She walked to XueJiao's side and raised her hand, only then hearing a low voice— "...Looking up, I gaze at the vastness of the universe; looking down, I examine the abundance of all things. Thus, I let my eyes roam and my heart expand, enough to..."

Li Sitong: "..."???

"Mom?!" XueJiao looked at the hand on her shoulder, widening her eyes, looking as if she had been startled.

Li Sitong was stunned, her mind dazed for a moment, before she turned around, slightly stiffly, and said, "It's time to get ready to leave..."

"Okay." XueJiao stood up obediently.

The Old Madam glanced at the children sitting distinctly apart and suddenly asked, "What did Jiao Jiao and Ming Jiao quarrel about this morning?"

Upon hearing this, Li Sitong glared at XueJiao, "You haven't apologized to your sister yet!"

XueJiao was very well-behaved and said, "I'm sorry."

Cheng Mingjiao's eyes twitched. This decisive apology not only didn't make her feel satisfied, but instead made her even more furious.

She opened her mouth eagerly, "It's like this, my older female cousin said she likes Brother Ze!"

XueJiao frowned and looked at her. In her memory, the argument in the morning was because Cheng Mingjiao despised her for not studying well and felt it was embarrassing for her to enter the Experimental Class, and also said she was not worthy of liking Cheng Mingze.

When Gu Xuejiao heard this, she flew into a rage and started fighting with her, and then she fell down on purpose to frame the original owner.

With Cheng Mingjiao's scheming, two straightforward Gu Xuejiaos added together wouldn't be a match for her.

The Cheng Family members all looked at XueJiao for a moment. Cheng Mingze furrowed his brows even tighter, a flash of disgust appearing in his eyes.

"What?!" Li Sitong and Cheng Shuo turned their heads in shock to look at XueJiao.

No one would believe her if she denied having said it now; not to mention that Gu Xuejiao did indeed like Cheng Mingze, her current credibility was far inferior to Cheng Mingjiao's.

After thinking about it, she suddenly looked up, blinked her large eyes, and nodded very seriously: "Yes, I did say I like my brother."

Li Sitong raised her finger to point at her, shaking with anger. The faces of the two elders of the Cheng Family also turned cold, their eyes narrowing as they stared straight at her.

Chapter 2: Car Accident

Just when the atmosphere of the family was very strange, XueJiao spoke again.

"Not only do I like my brother, I also like Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle Cheng!"

She blinked her eyes and said it very seriously.

Cheng Mingze was indeed very outstanding, and Gu Xuejiao did indeed like him, but he had never looked at her properly from beginning to end.

So she dressed herself up to look different, just hoping for a glance from him.
