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.

It's you!
After a refreshing bath, Zheng Xiang changed into his comfortable night clothes. The silk pajamas on the bottom were soft and comfortable. Since the temperature had been increasing lately, he chose not to wear a shirt underneath and simply draped an upper robe loosely over his body.
He loosely tied the ribbon around his waist, allowing the upper silk robe to hang casually, revealing his taut, chiseled muscles. Since he was alone in the chamber and there weren't any female servants in the residence, there was no need for him to dress up modestly.
He didn't even bother to dry his dripping wet hair with a towel and let it dry with the natural air. He sat at the chair in the room and held the permission scroll given by His Majesty earlier when he went to greet him. It was the permission letter that allows him to attend the royal court session tomorrow where he will be assigned his new position.
