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.

Wifey is always right.
During lunch, Yang Ning kept the conversation flowing, engaging His Majesty in discussion while also including the two awkward brothers from time to time. Thanks to her initiative and skill in maintaining an interesting conversation, the meal, which started with an uncomfortable silence, went peacefully without causing indigestion to anyone.
"Father, did you try the sweet fruit beverage I sent you the other day? Did you enjoy it?" Yang Ning inquired, introducing a new topic as she picked up a piece of meatball that Zheng Liang had put into her rice bowl.
Zheng Huang glanced at his daughter-in-law and beamed at her question. "Of course, I did. It was delicious. I never imagined that mangoes mashed into a paste would blend so well with sweet cold milk. I have had many desserts before, but it was my first time experiencing something so delicious and refreshing," the old man exclaimed with excitement.
