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.

Planned Coincidence
After the long day, Zheng Liang returned to his study room at the dragon pavilion rather than going to his chamber. He understood that Yang Ning might need some time to adjust to the new environment and it would be better for him to return to his chamber as late as possible.
Because during the parade, she was looking distressed and nervous when facing the common public. Seeing her pale complexion he could tell that she was having a hard time facing hundreds of people at once.
It was normal for her to react this way. Because she wasn't used to this kind of environment before the marriage.
That's why he wanted to return to his chamber later so that she could have some time to relax and freshen up his mind.
He sat on his working desk and saw the paper on which he was scribbling in the morning before leaving for the tea ceremony.
