I Transmigrated Back to the Year Mom Went Undercover at an Elite Academy

This story is also known as: "Falling in Love with Mom a Hundred Times" / "Campus Queens: My Mom Is a Big Shot" / "Transmigrating into the Past to Be Classmates with My Undercover Mom"

Note: [Zhu's daughter is somewhat impulsive early on, but she has a character growth arc. The plot needs conflict to show her change, while the older Zhu is the undisputed heroine. She's already strong, but she has room to grow too.]

Blurb:

Zhu Anning's father is unknown, and she grew up relying on her mother, Zhu Feiyan.

But they have a terrible relationship and can't stand each other.

In 2040, Zhu Feiyan dies during a home invasion, unexpectedly uncovering a secret that had been buried for many years.

"Your mom used to be a special forces soldier. Fifteen years ago, she went undercover at Ende Noble Academy. She solved the case, but was injured and eventually had to retire with regrets. The killer this time is the fugitive who escaped back then."

Zhu Anning: ?

Her mom? A middle-aged woman transformed into a badass female soldier? Huh?!

Zhu Anning thought the whole thing was so absurd that she refused to believe it. Then someone stabbed her three times. When she opened her eyes again, she was standing outside the gates of Ende, having transmigrated back to 2024.

A crowd streamed through the school gate, with luxury cars lined up in a row.

A female student cupped her face in both hands. "Aah! It's Zhu Yan!"

A male student shot a cold glance over. "That pretty boy is attracting girls again."

Zhu Anning wanted to see what kind of person could cause such a commotion. She turned around and saw a stunning, six-foot-tall guy skateboarding toward her.

He was tall and lean, with handsome, cool features and windblown, tousled hair. He had his hands in his pockets as he rode down the slope, looking like he owned the place.

Zhu Anning was instantly dumbstruck: ...oh shit.

Damn! This handsome guy really was her mom, wasn't he? Why had nobody told her that her mom had gone undercover disguised as a man?!

.

The graduating class of 2024 at Ende had four famous students. All came from privileged families, wielded immense influence, and had won the hearts of countless girls. They were known as the modern-day F4.

But transfer student Zhu Yan upset the balance. He was handsome, charming, and great at making connections. In just a few days, he managed to pull off several major feats:

Pursue the cool upperclasswoman F1 had a crush on.

Break F2's extreme-sports record.

Flirt with F3's younger sister.

Beat up the relative who was bullying people under F4's protection.

Everyone thought Zhu Yan was doomed. Who could have guessed that F1 would thump his chest and say, "My bro can't go after the girl I like?"

F2 posted a photo together: "This is my big bro."

F3, the heir to a top conglomerate: "Zhu Yan is really interesting. I like him."

F4 even invited him to a formal family banquet in front of everyone.

The students stared in disbelief. Zhu Yan was so charismatic that he'd won over all four and joined their little group?

Zhu Anning, who had been secretly watching the spectacle: "..."

That's not true. Her mom wasn't joining them, she was going to beat the daylights out of them!

Just as everyone thought Zhu Yan would become F5, the dirty secrets of all four families were exposed one after another, and they all wound up in prison.

The person behind it all was a mysterious woman who had been repeatedly blowing up the trending topics lately.

In a video taken by an eyewitness, a tall woman dressed in black took down several times the number of bodyguards protecting F4, armed with nothing but a stick.

Behind her, a girl wearing a Psyduck head mask diligently carried a bag of weapons and cheered, "Aah! Mom, I love you! Beat the crap out of these bastards!"

The woman charged into the crowd and punched two of F4's teeth flying. Then she turned around expressionlessly. "No swearing."

Everyone: "..."

So this woman fights for justice with her daughter in tow? That's just ridiculous!

[Reading Guide]

1. Told from both mother and daughter's perspectives, but Zhu Feiyan gets more screen time. By day, she dresses as a man and laughs along as she puts on an act with F4. At night, she changes back into women's clothes and fights as herself. The 2040 timeline has a bad ending, but her daughter transmigrates into the past and changes the future, leading to a happy ending.

2. The mother and daughter aren't related by blood; this will be explained later. No romance. The author loves the cross-dressing-and-showing-off trope. Zhu is the coolest! Both of them grow, and neither is without flaws.

3. The setting is entirely fictional, with an invented background. The story's message is absolutely positive.

4. This is a self-indulgent idea-driven story. Please don't offer writing advice.
