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.

"Why did she ask you for that promise? Did you say something to her at that time?" Zheng Liang asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
Zheng Huang pursed his lips upon hearing his son's suspicious question. He coughed awkwardly before responding, while avoiding his gaze, "I didn't say anything. Why would I say anything to her?"
"However, at that time, that woman was planning to select a new consort for you. There were some strange rumors about yours and Yang Ning's relationship. Considering that it had been a few months since you both got married and there was no good news about a successor, she brought up the topic of finding a new consort for you," he explained, referring to the former empress, Yang Lingxin, as "that woman" to avoid using her name.
"I believe Yang Ning might have heard those rumors and our conversation back then, which is why she brought up that topic," he said with hesitation.
