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.

Scrub my body
"It's alright, Yang Ning! There will be other maids present. You don't need to be so anxious," Yang Ning murmured to herself, taking a deep breath and reluctantly following Zheng Liang to the bathhouse.
Even though she had promised to assist him with his bath, it wasn't as if she was going to actually bathe him. Her role was simply to ensure that all the necessary arrangements were in place and that she could discreetly leave once he immersed himself in the water.
She was doing all of this solely to keep him preoccupied, preventing him from dwelling any further on the girl who had caused a scene at the market that afternoon.

Upon reaching the bathhouse, Yang Ning noticed the maids diligently preparing for Zheng Liang's bath.
She felt a sense of relief upon realizing that she wasn't alone there. Not only were there maids, but there were also guards stationed in the corridor.
