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.

Tea Party (V)
Once everyone was comfortably seated, Yang Ning signaled Xiaowei, and the maids gracefully commenced serving the tea and snacks that Yang Ning had specially requested from the kitchen staff.
As the maids delicately arranged the snacks and placed them on the table one by one, the ladies couldn't help but express surprise at the unfamiliar assortment before them. These were not the typical snacks they were accustomed to seeing or being served at tea parties; instead, they were presented with something different, something uniquely novel and never before seen or tasted.
After everything was served, a lady, her expression marked by confusion, turned to Yang Ning and asked with curiosity, "Your Highness, what are these snacks? I have never seen such dishes before."
