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.

Spring Festival Carnival (VI)
Qin Cheng's expression darkened upon hearing insults from a mere woman who should be grateful for his interest. How dare she act so haughty in front of him and dismiss him with such contempt? Mosquitoes? How dare she compare him to a disgusting mosquito? His anger simmered beneath the surface as he watched Yang Ning and Xiaowei turn away from him, ignoring his presence completely.
"You Bitch!" He cursed and prepared to teach Yang Ning a lesson. He would not tolerate being ignored, not by anyone. Never.
He raised his hand to forcefully turn Yang Ning to face him, but before his hand could land on her shoulder, it was violently slapped away.
Smack!
"Ah!" Qin Cheng let out a painful shriek as the unexpected slap stung his cheek. Before he could comprehend what was happening, a strong hand grasped his wrist and twisted it behind his back. He winced in agony, realizing that he was now at the mercy of an unknown assailant.
