I woke up as the Villainous Empress
"So, you're telling me you don't want to marry me? Didn’t you fight for this?" Crown Prince Zheng Liang was stunned. Yang Ning, the notorious schemer, wanted to call off their engagement? He thought he'd be relieved, but her sudden boldness had him questioning everything. "Your Highness, I don't want to be a sacrificial lamb, thank you very much," Yang Ning retorted with a fake smile, inwardly groaning. ‘Just break it off already!’ Fang Li, once a national treasure as an archery champion, finds her career and life on the brink of ruin after being embroiled in a scandal. But when she wakes up in a novel as Yang Ning—the villainess fated to become the most despised Empress and the fiancée of a Crown Prince who detests her—she’s determined not to follow the script! Armed with wit, humor, and a fierce will to survive, Yang Ning is set on rewriting her destiny. The twist? The Crown Prince, who’s supposed to loathe her, seems far too interested in her now. Can she escape her villainous destiny, or will she get tangled in royal drama and unexpected romance? ## Note: No extended misunderstandings or breakups—there will be some drama, but only to make the romance even better. This is a fun, romantic comedy full of witty banter! Cover: Original cover design by the author – kindly refrain from using without permission.

After Xiaowei assisted Yang Ning in combing her long and thick black hair, she skillfully styled it into a neat and simple braid, ensuring that it wouldn't bother her during the night.
Once Xiaowei finished, she exited the chamber, leaving Yang Ning to enjoy a restful and comfortable sleep.
After checking herself in the full-length mirror one last time, Yang Ning made her way over to her bed to get some rest.
As she glanced towards the door, she couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows and ask, "Is Zheng Liang not coming to sleep here tonight either?" Her frown deepened as she realized that she hasn't seen him for almost a week now.
It had been a week since Zheng Liang last slept in the chamber, and Yang Ning had heard from the maids that he had been incredibly occupied with royal court affairs.
As a result, he had been sleeping in his study room, working late into the night, and getting very little rest.
