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.

Second Male Lead.
Zheng Huang could see his son's complicated expressions and turned to his daughter-in-law. "Yang Ning, as the eldest daughter-in-law of our family and the Crown Princess of the Zheng Empire, I want you to take this responsibility and find a suitable bride for Zheng Xiang. He is your brother-in-law after all. Will you take this responsibility?" The old man asked earnestly. At this moment, his gaze was gentle, carrying a sense of guilt towards both of his sons, and his aged, weary body added a layer of helplessness to his request.
Yang Ning pursed her lips and was silent for a few minutes upon hearing this sudden request from His Majesty. As someone who has read the novel, Fang Li was aware of the crucial role in the plot development of the novel. Although things aren't unfolding exactly according to the storyline, the main events are indeed happening as per the narrative.
