The Rejected Daughter's Genius Comeback

Luo Chengfeng Modern

“Aria Campbell stood in the opulent office of her biological father, Andrew. He demanded she publicly accept the humiliating title of his illegitimate daughter to smooth the social path for his stepdaughter, Yvonne. To keep her out of their elite world, he threw a $50,000 check at her, ordering her to attend a blue-collar vocational school. "You will learn a trade, and you will stay out of our way." He wanted her to forget that his current wife, Helena, had murdered Aria's mother by pushing her down a flight of stairs. When Aria refused, Helena and Yvonne ambushed her in the rain, trying to ruin her with a bucket of filthy water. They used their family's massive influence to blacklist her from every top university in the city, intent on leaving her to rot in the Rust Belt like trash. They thought she was just a helpless, pathetic girl who would eventually bow to their wealth and power. They had no idea she was a commander from three thousand years in the future, reborn into this era to stop an impending AI apocalypse. How could a man staring at a puddle comprehend an ocean? Aria didn't take the money. Instead, she shattered Andrew's glasses with a flick of the check, vaulted their mansion's iron fence to smash every window on their ground floor, and hacked the global network to erase her digital footprint. She was heading to the Veridian Institute of Technology, and her war had just begun.”
