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.

A Perfect Little Princess
The air in the palace was thick with anticipation. Everyone knew the Crown Princess's child would arrive soon, but when the moment finally came, it felt sudden and overwhelming. Yang Ning, in the final stages of her pregnancy, had been resting in the peaceful confines of her bed in the Dragon Pavilion. Lady Yu Ling, the head of the court ladies, remained by her side, overseeing everything with her experienced eye.
Gu Lan, the head of Zheng Liang's royal troops and his most trusted guard, had been stationed outside the chamber at the Crown Prince's orders. Despite his usual role on the battlefield, today he was tasked with a much more delicate responsibility: ensuring the safety of the Crown Princess during this crucial moment.
Inside her chamber, Yang Ning lay on the bed, her hand gently resting on her belly. The baby had been moving frequently, but today, the air felt different. She knew the time had come.
