Synopsis

"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.

Chapter 1Sleeping Villainess!!

~PROLOGUE~

"Shouldn't you be changing behind the partition?" Yang Ning asked, her voice laced with awkwardness and surprise as Zheng Liang casually began undoing his robe in front of her.

Zheng Liang gave her a lazy smile, his voice dripping with nonchalance. "Too much of a hassle."

"Too much of a hassle?" she repeated, incredulous. "It's literally right there!" She pointed toward the partition, feeling her cheeks flush as she realized where this was heading.

He stepped closer, his gaze locking onto hers. "Why don't you help me?" His voice held an unmistakable edge, commanding and deliberate.

Yang Ning's eyes widened, her heart skipping a beat. "Help you... with what exactly?" Her voice faltered as she tried to mask her sudden fluster. "There are plenty of maids and servants to do this. Why do you need me?"

Zheng Liang's face darkened, his eyes narrowing. "Do you think I'd let anyone else touch me? Only you, Yang Ning. You're my wife."

Her heart raced as the weight of his words settled over her. She bit her lip, her cheeks burning. "But... I'm not exactly skilled at this kind of thing," she muttered, her voice trailing off.

Zheng Liang's gaze didn't waver, his tone growing more firm. "You'll learn." His eyes gleamed with intent. "Now, help me out of this."

Flustered and unable to refuse, Yang Ning stepped closer, her fingers trembling as they brushed against the ties of his robe. "So many maids around, but it has to be me," she mumbled under her breath, her face flushed a deep shade of red. As she tugged at the knot, the robe loosened, slipping open slightly to reveal his bare chest beneath.

Her breath caught as her eyes fell on the scars etched across his muscular torso. Her teasing tone evaporated, replaced with concern. "These... don't they hurt?" she asked softly, her fingertips hovering over the marks, unsure whether to touch them.

Zheng Liang's expression softened, though a glint of playfulness lingered in his eyes. He reached for her hand, guiding it to his chest. "They don't hurt anymore," he murmured, his voice low and inviting, "but if you touch me like that... it might."

Yang Ning's pulse quickened, her fingers still resting against his warm skin. The proximity, the heat radiating between them—it was overwhelming. She tried to keep her composure, but her voice came out shakier than she intended. "You're impossible," she muttered, though her hands lingered on his chest as if they had a will of their own.

Without warning, Zheng Liang cupped her face, his lips crashing against hers in a sudden, intense kiss. Her eyes flew open in shock before slowly closing, her resistance melting away as she leaned into him, her hands sliding up to his shoulders. His kiss was possessive, and electrifying, leaving her breathless as he pulled back just enough to let their lips part.

"Still think I'm impossible?" he teased, his breath warm against her lips, his forehead resting gently against hers.

Yang Ning's chest rose and fell quickly, trying to catch her breath, her face burning from the intensity. She bit her lip, fighting the smile tugging at her mouth. "No," she whispered, leaning in closer, her lips brushing against his. "But you're definitely trouble."

"What's happening? Why hasn't she woken up yet?" The senior maid burst into the chamber, her voice sharp, causing the young maid beside the lady to jump in fright.

The young maid, Xiaowei, had been carefully tending to her lady, wiping her burning body with a cloth soaked in cold water. She quickly set the cloth aside and scrambled to her feet to greet the senior maid. "Senior Maid, Miss... her fever is still too high. I've been using the cold towel, but she still hasn't opened her eyes," Xiaowei stammered, her voice trembling.

For two days now, her lady had been consumed by a high fever, unconscious. The household forbade them from calling a physician, claiming it would be a waste of money. Xiaowei's worry had only deepened as the hours stretched on without any signs of improvement.

Nervously, Xiaowei glanced up at the senior maid, searching for any flicker of compassion on her cold face. But there was none. The senior maid served the Mistress of the household, the second wife of the lord, and held more power than any of the other maids.

The Mistress, young and beautiful, had captured the lord's heart with her beauty and, more importantly, had birthed a son—the heir to the household. The previous Mistress had not been as fortunate. And because of that, Xiaowei's lady, the eldest daughter of the household, was treated like an afterthought.

"Senior Maid, I think we should call the physician. Her condition is worsening, and she might not recover in time for the banquet tomorrow," Xiaowei dared to speak, her voice small and uncertain.

The senior maid scoffed, her lips curling in disdain. "You think? Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?" she snapped, stepping forward and grabbing a fistful of Xiaowei's hair.

"Don't get ahead of yourself. Just because you serve the eldest daughter doesn't mean you have a say in this house. She may be engaged to the Crown Prince, but that doesn't change anything here."

Xiaowei winced, tears springing to her eyes as the senior maid tugged harder on her hair. "You're nothing more than a maid, serving a master who means nothing in this household. Now, stop talking back and do your job," the senior maid hissed, finally releasing her grip.

Xiaowei fell to the floor, gasping as the pain subsided. The senior maid looked down at her coldly. "Tomorrow is the Crown Prince's birthday banquet. If she doesn't wake up by then, throw a bucket of cold water on her and get her dressed. She must attend. That's an order from the Mistress," she said, her tone icy.

Xiaowei, still kneeling, nodded rapidly, her heart pounding in fear.

"This banquet is important for the household. If anything goes wrong, your lady will suffer the consequences. Understood?" With that, the senior maid kicked Xiaowei in the ribs, one last reminder of her authority, before storming out of the chamber.

...

In the dimly lit room, the young lady lay still on the bed, her delicate frame covered in dull, white garments, matching her pale complexion. Her cheeks were flushed from the fever, but her lips were dry and cracked, making her look fragile and weak.

Yang Ning had always been frail. After her mother's passing, her health had only worsened due to neglect and lack of care. As the eldest daughter of the household, she should have been cherished, yet all she received were harsh words from her stepmother and indifference from her father.

Her father, the household lord, had no time for her. His attention was solely on his son, the heir. For Yang Ning, he offered nothing but a cold shoulder, treating her like a burden except when it came to advancing his political standing.

Yang Ning had once dreamed of escaping this house through marriage. But her hopes were dashed when her father arranged her engagement to the Crown Prince. She had no choice in the matter. Her marriage was a political move for her father to secure favor with the Emperor.

In her father's eyes, she was only valuable as the Crown Prince's future wife. But in the day-to-day life of the household, she was nothing—an afterthought, a piece of furniture gathering dust.

How could someone like her, constantly burdened by hatred and disdain, remain healthy? Even a plant withers when neglected. And Yang Ning was no different. The lack of love and constant judgment had worn her down.

Xiaowei sighed deeply, watching her lady lie motionless on the bed. She couldn't do much to help, but she would do what little she could. She picked up the basin to change the water, hoping to bring some relief with the cold towel.

As Xiaowei left the room, the girl on the bed stirred. After two days of lying still, her fingers twitched ever so slightly.

You have so many scars.” “The only scars that I have is on my face.” Iris shook her head meekly. “I am not talking about your face. I am talking about your soul.

Here I am back with my detailed review and some informative questions about the novel, ‘I woke up as the Villainous Empress.’ In this review, I will answer a few questions about this novel and why you should read this one. Here we go- Q. Is this novel part of the WSA Contest? Ans. Yes. This novel is part of WSA Contest 2022. Since it’s my first time entering into the contest, don’t forget to leave a review and show your support using your power stones and golden coins. Q. Why transmigration themed novel again? Ans. For some time, I was into the ‘Villainess inside a novel’ trope and was reading all kinds of novels and webtoons of the same genre. So rather than writing something else, I wrote that I wanted to read it myself. This novel is also a transmigration story like my other two novels but definitely a different one. So do give it a try before making any prejudices about it. Q. Is this an original story or translation? Ans. This is my original story and you can find it only on webnovel app/website. So if you’re an ethical reader, do read it on an official-legal app/site and not on any pirated one. Because it doesn’t help the writers in any way and it’s nothing less than a theft of creative works. Also, It’s not a translation of any Chinese work. I hold the copyright of this novel as it’s my creation. Q. What is so unique about this new transmigration novel? Ans. Unlike the other two novels, this one is based on the transmigration into a novel world. Yes. You heard it right. If you’re a fan of Villainess of a novel world trope stories, this one's for you. Q. Is the novel a serious one since it has historical characters? Ans. If you have read other works of mine, you will know that I am known to add some comedy and spice in the most serious conversations. Rather than a serious and tragic one, it will be a hella funny and heart-fluttering ride for you. That I can promise to you!! Q. How many chapters this novel is going to have? Ans. My goal is to wrap it up by 300-500 chapters but in the end it all depends how the story proceeds. However, it definitely won’t be a part of those super lengthy novels. Q. What is the update schedule? Ans. It will be one chapter a day, except Sunday. Author also needs a holiday. However, the update schedules can be changed so do join my discord server to get updated regularly. Q. How to support the novel and the author? Ans: Write your review if you liked anything about the novel and be a part of discussions in the comment section of the chapters. I love seeing all those reviews and comments. Support the novel using your power stones and Golden Coins. It helps the novel to go high in the rankings and receive more exposure. Use coins to buy the chapters or buy Privileged chapters to support the author. Q. Does the author decide the price of chapters or the novel? Mostly misunderstood concept. Ans. The answer is no. The author is not empowered to decide the price of the chapters. It’s solely based on the number of words of the chapter that are pre-decided by the webnovel. The coins that you are spending on buying the chapter is the cost of the words that you are reading. Also, a part of those coins that you are spending was also used to support the authors who are working hard to give you the content that you are reading. [Not in the case of Fast Passes. As they’re free, they don't contribute to the author's earnings at all.] Q. Why do you add the [Piracy Note] at the end of the chapters? Ans: It’s because many times readers think that a ‘pirated site’ they’re reading the novel on is a legal one and supports them, without knowing that it’s illegal. It’s for those readers to know and if you want to support the author, read it on webnovel only. Also, the note in the end doesn’t make the chapter expensive. 50-100 words doesn’t make the chapter costly if you’re under the word price limit. In the end, I hope you guys will like this novel like other works of mine. Also, if you’re a new reader, do give a read to Eternal Love and My Evil Genius Wife if you haven’t read them yet. If you have any problems or questions regarding the novel, you can directly contact me using my discord server link in the synopsis or Instagram - @kamlyn_love

This review is written after reading 60 chapters. I do not intent to give ANY spoilers. This review is about the author’s writing and story telling skills. There are no grotesque scenes, and I haven’t encountered a badly written character thus far. I started reading this novel for the Happy Valentine’s Day event. However, after reading about 20 chapters, I was hooked and unlocked 100 chapters right away. This speaks to the author’s ability to quickly grab a reader’s attention. The writing has few spelling and grammatical errors. The author does not repeatedly use the same transitional words, which is a HUGE pet peeve of mine; nor does the author use italics for the inner thoughts of characters (italics are not read out loud in audio mode of iOS devices). Further, the author has done a great job with the chapter titles, informing the reader of the next scene (eg Banquet I- XII). Personally, I like to have all the chapters of a scene unlocked before I start reading. From a writing and organizational perspective, the author is excellent and has demonstrated great consideration towards the reader. The story: the story begins with the FL waking up in the world of a novel. This is typical and not original at all. But what sets this novel apart from others is that the author actually dedicated a few chapters early in the story for the FL’s backstory—not a few paragraphs, but whole chapters. We see the FL at her highest point and most joyous moment, and then see her at her lowest point in life. Through this character development the reader learns why the FL has the personality she has and how her past life affects her decision making in this new world. I do not know how long this novel will be, but I thank the author for allowing us to see this side of FL so early on. I recommend reading up to chapter 25 before deciding on whether you want to continue with this novel or not. But to be honest, I was hooked before the banquet scene was over. I’m a sucker for DRAMA, and the author was giving. PURRR.
