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.

-The Zheng Capital-
Within the grandeur of a spacious, luxurious private chamber in the capital city's premier tea house, Yang Luoyang was engaging in a tea ceremony with high-ranking ministers from the royal court. His voice rang with unmistakable pride as he detailed his close relations with His Majesty and the Crown Prince, his words emphasizing his distinguished position as a member of their royal family.
Even though Yang Ning continued to dismiss their relationship and kept ignoring him after her marriage to Zheng Liang, it couldn't change the fact that he was her father. Thus, he still had a connection to the royal family as their in-law.
Even if Yang Ning attempted to sever their ties, it would be fruitless. There was simply no way for her to escape from his shadow, not in this lifetime at least.
