After Chu Xin dies from working herself to death at 996, she transmigrates into a cyberpunk world.
The conglomerates at the top siphon off ninety percent of the profits, leaving scraps for everyone else.
And she is one of the living dead in the slums.
So she joins the resistance without hesitation.
Using the knowledge from her previous life, she builds a resistance force with unwavering ideals and iron will.
Unfortunately, she never manages to find a way to knock on the door of the upper classes.
Until one day, a representative claiming to work for the Chu family arrives,
and tells her:
You are the true heiress of the leading conglomerate.
Well, would you look at that. I was planted right in the enemy camp from the moment I was born.

Chu Yao is twenty-four before she learns she was the fake heiress, switched at birth.
The real heiress grew up in the slums, surviving on odd jobs, and even got into the top university that students across the stars dream of attending.
The Chu family makes a grand public spectacle of welcoming home their exceptional real heiress.
Just as everyone imagined,
the real heiress is gentle yet resilient, beautiful and guileless.
She wins the hearts of everyone in the conglomerate, from the chairman to the cleaning staff,
and even Chu Yao's fiance wants to break off their engagement and marry the true heiress.
Confused and furious, Chu Yao decides to play the villain and tear off the real heiress's mask.
And then she sees:
The real heiress piloting a starship and sweeping all before her,
declaring to the hundreds of billions of people across the stars: “A new era has arrived.”
Big Sis, is it too late for me to get down on my knees?
[Please note]
1. The heroine is Chu Xin. She's already a big shot from the very beginning.
2. The fake and real heiresses don't fight each other, and there's no competition for resources between them.
3. Very little romance. At heart, this is a story about a powerful heroine conquering the stars.
