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.

After draping her woolen cloak over her shoulders, Yang Ning joined Zheng Liang, and together they proceeded to the study where Master Jiang awaited them.
"Greetings to His Highness and the Crown Princess." Master Jiang rose from his seat with a respectful bow as the couple entered the room, his voice laced with the formal courtesy due to their rank.
With gracious smiles, Yang Ning and Zheng Liang acknowledged his greeting and took their places at the table. Zheng Liang relaxed into his chair and thoughtfully pulled Yang Ning's chair beside him, inviting her to sit close to his side.
On the other side of the table, Master Jiang settled into his seat, his eyes warm as he regarded the couple. Once they were comfortably seated, his attention shifted to Zheng Liang, concern creasing his brow. "Your Highness, how are you feeling? Has the pain in your wound lessened?" he inquired, his voice tinged with genuine concern.
