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.

Tea Party III
After the tea party had concluded, Chang Ah escorted the guests to the entrance of the Yang Household, ensuring that she didn't forget to offer small tokens of appreciation to each of them. While she may not have come from a noble background, having been Yang Luoyang's wife for many years had taught her the intricacies of hosting such formal gatherings.
As Chang Ah stood at the entrance, politely waving goodbye to the departing ladies as they boarded their carriages one by one, her smile gradually faded. Her expression turned from one of hospitality to one of gloom once they were out of sight. She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and angrily removed the necklace she was wearing, throwing it onto the ground. "Damn it! Yang Ning is such a cunning fox! I'll tear that woman to pieces," she growled with fury before storming into the Yang Household's courtyard.
