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.

[Bonus chapter]Spring Festival Carnival (IV)
"Are you certain we should ride in this carriage? Won't it be too noticeable?" Yang Ning questioned once more, her concern evident in her tone. She couldn't help but think about the attack they had faced in Xinling City, and the need for caution was still fresh in her mind.
Zheng Liang offered her a reassuring smile and nodded, his pride evident as he spoke, "Indeed, my love. We can definitely ride in this carriage. This carriage is far more spacious and comfortable than the one we used for our journey to Xinling City. I assure you that you will experience no discomfort while riding in it."
Yang Ning, still concerned, leaned closer and whispered cautiously, "But didn't you mention that we were attending the festival in the guise of nobles? Many nobles frequent such events, and it wouldn't be unusual for us to attend as nobles without revealing our true identities. Besides, even nobles in the capital do not typically have access to white horses like these."
