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.

Punished? Who? (IX)
" I…I gifted you that dress?" Chang Ah was dumbfounded when Yang Ning told her that the dress she wore to the Banquet was none other than the one she had gifted her on her birthday.
Chang Ah gulped her saliva nervously and consciously glanced at her husband, whose silence was speaking more than his words.
How can this happen? It wasn't her mother's dress?

Chang Ah pursed her lips and was hoping for Yang Luoyang to not ask her anything in front of Yang Ning.
She had told Yang Luoyang that she needed to buy Yang Ning a beautiful and expensive dress for her birthday present and even received the extra money for the same.
However, rather than spending that money on Yang Ning's dress, she bought a silk scarf for herself while she bought a cheap dress for Yang Ning from the local market shop.
Why would she waste her money just for her birthday present? It's not like Yang Ning deserves anything expensive on her birthday.
