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.

Pretty Sister-in-law
While Zheng Liang and Yang Ning were engrossed in their passionate moment in their chamber, Gu Lan took Xiaowei to the training grounds following the Crown Prince's orders to give her self-defense training. After the royal carriage was involved in the sudden attack on its way from Xinling City to the royal palace, it became even more crucial for the Crown Princess's personal maidservant to be able to protect her master.
As the personal guard of the Crown Prince and the leader of the royal guards contingent, it seemed fitting for Gu Lan to assume the responsibility of training the personal maidservant of the Crown Princess.
Upon reaching the training grounds, the guards engaged in training and sparring, covered in dust and sweat, were taken aback to witness Gu Lan, their leader, accompanied by a young woman. She was beautiful and seemed like a deer following a lion, an unexpected sight that caught everyone off guard.
