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.

After a prolonged, passionate kiss, Zheng Liang finally drew back, allowing Yang Ning to catch her breath.
She inhaled sharply, resting her head against his shoulder, burrowing into the curve of his neck. "You're awful. You made my lips completely sore," she playfully whined in a soft, raspy voice.
Zheng Liang's response was a tender smile as he stroked her back, helping her regain her breath while offering comfort. "Oh, is that right? Perhaps another kiss would soothe the soreness away," he suggested teasingly, his hands still caressing her back, comforting her from their passionate kiss.
Yang Ning furrowed her brow at his teasing and playfully thumped him on the chest. "Enough of that. You should behave now, or what will Xiaowei and Gu Lan think of us?"
