The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

I shook my head, trying to shake off the strange feeling, only to find that a flood of unfamiliar images suddenly flooded my mind, flashing before my eyes like clips from a movie. I didn't recognize the people and scenes in those images, yet they felt familiar. Could this be the secret of time travel?

At this moment, Lawrence Lu pushed the door open and saw the ancient book in my hand. His expression froze. "Where did you find it?" I was startled by his serious tone and subconsciously closed the book. "It's... on the bedside table. What's wrong?" He walked over quickly, took the book from my hand, and examined it carefully, frowning. "It seems we have found a way to deal with them."

I was confused. "What method?" He put the book back where it belonged. "This book is a family secret, recording some unknown history and secrets. I suspect that those who oppose you may be related to this history." I covered my mouth in surprise. "You mean..." He nodded. "Yes, they may have utilized some kind of taboo power to make you run into obstacles everywhere in the circle."

I suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet. It turned out that everything I encountered was not accidental, but someone was manipulating it from behind! "Then what should we do?" I asked anxiously. A gleam of light flashed in Lawrence Lu's eyes. "Since they want to play, we will play with them to the end! I have contacted a respected elder in the family, and he will help us expose their true colors."

After learning the truth, I wasn't as angry as before. Instead, I was filled with excitement. I wanted to make those who had looked down on me and oppressed me pay for their actions! I took a deep breath, looked at him with determination, and said, "Okay, I'll fight alongside you!"

A few days later, my best friend, the well-known fashion blogger Lisa, rushed into my studio. "Lolo, I've already contacted the venue and the media for you. We're just waiting for you, the star, to make your grand entrance!" I smiled and took her hand. "Thank you, Lisa. I'm so glad you're here. Otherwise, I don't know what I would do."

Lisa patted my shoulder and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Don't worry, I will definitely help you plan an unprecedented personal fashion show this time to shut up those who doubt you!" I looked at her gratefully. Lisa always gives me strength and support when I need it most.

With Lisa's help, my personal fashion show went ahead as planned. The venue was beautifully decorated, and as the lights flickered, each piece seemed to come alive. I stood backstage, my palms sweating, nervously watching everything on stage.

"Don't worry, you will succeed." Lawrence Lu appeared behind me at some point. He gently held my hand and gave me strength. I took a deep breath and put all my uneasiness and anxiety behind me. All I had to do was show everyone my best work!

As the music began, models sauntered down the runway, clad in my designs. The ethereal tulle, the shimmering sequins, the fluid cuts… every detail reflected my meticulous attention to detail and creativity. The audience erupted in applause and gasps of admiration, and my heart began to beat to the rhythm.

After the show, many industry celebrities congratulated me, and many brands extended olive branches to me. I was surrounded by the sudden success and felt like I was in a dream.

"Congratulations, Luoluo, you did it!" Lisa gave me a big hug, and I was so excited that tears welled up in my eyes. All of this seemed like a dream, a dream I didn't dare to hope for.

"None of this is possible without your help, Lisa." I said sincerely. Lisa smiled and shook her head, "No, you deserve this. Your talent shouldn't be buried."

Lawrence Lu came over and held me in his arms, "I knew you would succeed." His low voice sounded in my ears, with a hint of imperceptible doting.

I know my success isn't solely due to my own hard work, but also to the silent dedication of Lawrence Lu behind the scenes. He leveraged his resources and connections to help me open up various channels, even working behind the scenes to dismantle those opposing forces that sought to suppress me. He's like a mountain, protecting me from the wind and rain, allowing me to pursue my dreams with peace of mind.

I looked up and gazed into his deep eyes, my heart filled with gratitude and love. I believe that with him by my side, my future will be even brighter!

This joy didn't last long. An inexplicable unease lingered in my mind. I realized that despite having achieved success and love in this world, I still felt like an outsider, unable to truly fit in. I longed to return to where I belonged, to that familiar yet strange world.

Perhaps the heavens heard my heart, for by chance I stumbled upon a secret passage in my family's antique collection room. Hidden behind a bookcase, it would have remained hidden forever had the housekeeper not accidentally triggered a mechanism while sorting through the books. Curiosity piqued my curiosity, and I ventured inside. At the end of the winding passageway lay an ancient stone door.

I tentatively pushed open the stone door, and a blinding light appeared before my eyes. Once my eyes adjusted to the light, I was surprised to find myself standing on a bustling street! Tall buildings, bustling traffic—wasn't this the modern city I'm familiar with?! I pinched myself in disbelief, the pain telling me this wasn't a dream!

I excitedly walked along familiar streets, taking in the bustling, bustling atmosphere of the modern city. I entered a clothing store, dazzled by the dazzling array of clothing. These clothes, with their novel styles and bold designs, were unlike anything I'd ever seen in my other world. I eagerly bought several, eager to incorporate these fashionable elements into my own designs.

I once again passed through the stone gate and returned to the otherworld. This time, I brought back a wealth of inspiration and creativity. I began experimenting with combining modern fashion elements with traditional clothing from the otherworld, creating a series of unique pieces.

I incorporated these novel elements into my designs, retaining the flowing, graceful charm of otherworldly clothing while adding a touch of modern simplicity. My first batch of pieces immediately caused quite a stir within the industry. Fashion magazines rushed to cover my designs, hailing them as "fashion that transcends time and space," and some even dubbed me a "designer from the future."

Lu Yuxuan watched me grow increasingly confident and radiant, his eyes almost overflowing with pride. He arranged the best venue for my press conference and mobilized all his connections to promote me. I knew that he was not only my lover, but also my mentor and my support.

On the day of the press conference, I stood center stage in the dress I designed, enjoying the spotlight and everyone's attention. At that moment, I felt like I had truly become Cinderella in the fairy tale, except that I had made my own glass slippers.

However, just as I was immersed in joy and emotion, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. I vaguely heard someone shouting my name, the tone full of anger and doubt.

My heart tightened, and before I could react, I saw a familiar figure rush onto the stage. A blinding light flashed, and before I could even see the person's face, I felt a sharp pain...
