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.

Imagination or Ointment?
After Zheng Liang carried Yang Ning to bed in his arms, he helped her sit on the bed and placed two pillows behind her back so that she could comfortably while resting her back against the pillows.
He looked at her worriedly and asked, "Does your back still hurt?"
"It does not hurt that much. I will be fine after taking a rest." She answered while avoiding eye contact with him.
How can she look him in the eye? It was already embarrassing enough for her. Who would have thought that he would see her in such an embarrassing position and not only that but will also witness her hurting her back while doing the squats.
As a national level athlete, it was a big deal for her and humiliating.
While Yang Ning was worrying about her reputation in front of him, Zheng Liang was looking at her with concern in his eyes.
