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.

Royal Palace - Dragon pavilion
"Your Highness, I have escorted the court lady Yu Ling to the Yang Household as you have ordered." Gu Lan reported to Zheng Liang.
The atmosphere between them is still heavy and uncomfortable. However, unlike before, Zheng Liang isn't ignoring him and even asked him to escort court lady Yu Ling to the Yang Household.
However, before sending him for this task, he didn't forget to comment, " You will not run away this time, will you?"
Again, Gu Lan has no other choice but to stay silent in front of His Highness until he calms down and forgives him for the mistake that he made in the morning.
His mistake endangered someone's life. It was reasonable that Zheng Liang was mad at him.
He has to acknowledge that if it were not for Lady Yang Ning, the situation would have gone out of hand and he would have been held responsible if the bear had attacked and injured lady Yang Ning and her maid Xiaowei.
