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.

Sweet Torture
After indulging in a revitalizing bath, Yang Ning gracefully slipped into a luxurious silk nightgown and made her way back to her chamber.
When Yang Ning returned to the chamber, she found it empty. Zheng Liang had gone to another bathhouse in the residence while she had used the one next to their chamber.
She surveyed the unfamiliar, newly assigned chamber. Although not as grand and extravagant as the royal palace, the chamber provided to them at the royal residence in Xinling City was still impressive in its own right.
The chamber captivated her with its painted walls adorned with beautiful artwork. The intricate details of the paintings added a touch of elegance to the surroundings. The presence of sheer curtains billowing gently in the breeze, coupled with a resplendent chandelier suspended from the ceiling, exudes an air of luxury and regality throughout the chamber.
