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.

Sudden Attack II
After Zheng Liang alighted from the carriage, Gu Lan hurried towards him and informed him about the incident, saying, "Your Highness, it wasn't an accident. Someone deliberately scattered small pieces of sharp glass on the ground, which frightened the horses, causing them to react like this."
"This area is unsafe. We should leave immediately," Gu Lan urged, casting cautious glances around.
Zheng Liang's expression darkened upon hearing this revelation. He had taken great care to keep his journey a secret, sharing the information only with a select few individuals he trusted - his loyal staff of servants and guards. The fact that someone could orchestrate such a malicious plan in advance left him bewildered.
Considering that not many people were aware of his purpose in coming to Xinling City for inspection, he couldn't fathom how someone had managed to premeditate and execute this sinister act.
