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.

At night, Zheng Liang went to his study to read some important documents that needed his signatures for tomorrow's royal court session. Meanwhile, Yang Ning took a refreshing bath after having a light nourishing chicken soup with some veggies for dinner and sat in front of the huge wooden vanity table, where Xiaowei helped comb and braid her long black hair before retiring for the night.
Yang Ning adorned a custom-tailored silk white nightgown, meticulously crafted by a skilled seamstress at her request. Unlike conventional nightdresses of this era, which cover the person from head to toe, even in the summers, constraining movement even during sleep, she preferred a more contemporary design. Her creation featured a strap gown beneath, complemented by a silk upper gown elegantly draped by a ribbon around her body.
