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.

Yang Ning, I want you!
"Stop teasing me!" Yang Ning protested, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she covered her face with her hands. "I wasn't the one who bought it. I just found it among the items confiscated from the maids' quarters. I was curious about what it was. I also didn't know that it was this kind of book."
Zheng Liang chuckled at her excuses and found her puffed-up, blushing cheeks adorable. Due to her embarrassment, she couldn't even bring herself to look at him. Yet, in his eyes, this image of her, flustered and shy, only added to her charm.
Seeing that she was on the verge of tears from his teasing and embarrassment, he decided to cease his playful banter and walked towards her. Placing the book on the side table, he gently took hold of her shoulders and shook her slightly, urging her to look up at him.
