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.

Secret Meeting (IV)
"BR….BROTHEL? THE KIND OF BROTHEL THAT WE KNOW?" Yang Ning's eyes widened in shock when she heard Gu Lan say that the place Zheng Liang brought her was not an extravagant and colorful diner but a brothel.
Isn't a brothel a place where women and alcohol are involved?
A BROTHEL?? HOW CAN HE BRING HER TO A PLACE LIKE THAT?
She just wanted to have tea with him outside the palace. How did they end up coming here?
She stared at Zheng Liang in disbelief and couldn't believe how this kind of man could be interested in such things.
From his upright posture to his righteous attitude, he looks like a decent man who will fight against injustice.
He doesn't look like a person who would be interested in playing around with women and frequents a place like a brothel.
He is the Crown Prince after all. How can he come to a place like this?
