The moment Gu Ruoyi lost consciousness, her body collapsed to the floor and began undergoing radical transformations.
Her short, messy black hair grew longer and thicker, its color shifting to a silvery-white hue. Her delicate facial features subtly rearranged themselves into perfect symmetry and proportion.
All over her body, pores dilated slightly before shedding every strand of body hair, then sealed shut until they became nearly invisible to the naked eye. Between her shoulder blades, the bones expanded outward as two pristine white wings emerged and unfurled.
...
Not long after, Gu Ruoyi stirred awake, her new wings fluttering unconsciously.
"Ugh... my head..."
Still groggy, she clutched her throbbing skull—the aftermath of her unceremonious faceplant onto the floor. Memories trickled back slowly.
"Right... the angel genes..."
The delayed realization finally struck.
"Sister He Xi never mentioned anything about passing out! I should've done this on my damn bed!"
As the pounding in her skull persisted, she became aware of an unfamiliar weight on her back. Instinctively, she tried to shake it off—
Whoosh!
A gust of wind erupted from her movement, sending items on the nearby table flying. Gu Ruoyi turned in alarm, only to freeze at the sight of two magnificent white wings extending from her shoulders.
"Holy shit... am I an angel now?"
Her eyes sparkled with childlike wonder. Then another thought struck.
"Wait. If I'm an angel now, then that means..."
Remembering the cosmetic enhancements that came with angel genes, Gu Ruoyi scrambled to her feet and bolted to the bathroom.
"AAAAAAAAH—!!"
A deafening shriek tore through the apartment—high-pitched enough to shatter glass.
"...Is that really me?"
The reflection staring back could've stepped straight out of a classical painting: silvery hair cascading like moonlight, features so exquisitely balanced they seemed sculpted by divine hands. The wings only amplified the ethereal beauty.
Gu Ruoyi pinched her nose. The mirror angel mirrored the action. She tilted her chin up. So did her reflection. After a series of increasingly ridiculous tests, the truth became undeniable—
That celestial being was her.
A strangled giggle escaped her lips. Then another. Soon, she was laughing uncontrollably, the sound bordering on hysterical.
Can you blame her?
Pre-transformation, Gu Ruoyi had been... well, average. Now? She could literally topple cities with a smile. The angel genes hadn't just enhanced her looks—they'd rewritten her at the genetic level into something transcendent.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"
"Are you dying in there?!"
"Seriously, sis, are you summoning demons or something?!"
The bathroom door flew open, revealing her panicked family—only to freeze at the sight before them.
There stood a silver-haired angelic beauty... who happened to be their daughter/sister.
Complete with wings.
...
Awkward silence.
Gu Ruoyi's laughter died instantly. Four pairs of eyes locked in mutual disbelief.
"So..." Her teenage sister, Gu Yun, broke the silence first. "Uh... miss winged lady? Who exactly are you?"
"Who else would I be? Your sister?"
Shit.
The words left her mouth before her brain could intervene.
Gu Yun's eye twitched. "You expect me to believe that? Do I look stupid to you?"
Her parents' expressions darkened ominously.
Welp. Cat's out of the bag now.
Trapped under their interrogative gazes, Gu Ruoyi sighed. What followed was the most chaotic explanation in family history—
...
Twenty minutes of word vomit later...
The living room felt like a courtroom. Her parents sat rigidly on the couch while Gu Yun vibrated with excitement beside them.
"Let me get this straight," her father began, massaging his temples. "You joined some interdimensional chat group filled with fictional characters, learned our world was doomed from a transmigrator, then got angel DNA from some... 'Heavenly Computress' to become this?"
Her mother picked up the thread. "And now you're telling us monsters are coming, gods are invading, and—"
"—AND YOU'RE BASICALLY THE PROTAGONIST OF A CHAT GROUP NOVEL?!" Gu Yun practically screamed, stars in her eyes. "OH MY GOD, CAN YOU INTRODUCE ME TO HIMEKO? OR SEELE? OR—"
"Slow down, you gremlin!" Gu Ruoyi intercepted the barrage of questions. "One at a time!"
As her sister bombarded her with increasingly absurd requests ("Can you ask Raiden Mei to step on me?"), her parents exchanged exhausted glances.
After hours of interrogation, they'd confirmed one thing:
This was undoubtedly their daughter—just upgraded to a deluxe edition.
But the implications?
Infinite dimensions. Cosmic wars. Apocalyptic threats.
For two corporate leaders accustomed to boardroom battles, this was... a lot.
Their blank stares eventually settled on their newly-angelic offspring.
Gu Ruoyi, now hyperaware of every sensory input thanks to her enhancements, stiffened under their gaze.
Why are they looking at me like that?!
