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.

What could be the reason?
-Yang Household-
"Milady, Milady, did you hear the news?" Xiaowei came running and barged into the chamber of Yang Ning without knocking on the door.
She was panting heavily and her face turned red from running so much. She was in so much urgency that she forgot to knock on the door before coming inside.
She came to give the hottest gossip that she heard from the other maids to Yang Ning but halted when she saw Yu Ling in the room as well.
"Milady….what are you doing?" Xiaowei was surprised to see Yang Ning wearing a heavy dress made of pure silk when it was time for her to go to bed.
She should be wearing her night clothes by now, why is she wearing her silk dress at the moment? She wondered.
Not only that, she was carrying the three heaviest books on her head and was holding onto her skirt, as if she was trying to walk in this uncomfortable posture.
