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.

A Commotion.
"Miss, please slow down," Xiaowei called out anxiously, struggling to keep up with Yang Ning, whose pace surpassed anything she could manage in her skirt.
They were outside the royal residence, disguised as commoners, so Xiaowei couldn't address her as "Milady."
She simply had to settle for "Miss."
Xiaowei desired for Yang Ning to adopt a more graceful walking style, befitting a woman.
However, it seemed as though Yang Ning had acquired wheels for legs. She dashed through the market without pause, frequently stopping at various stalls to inspect items or savor mouth-watering treats.
Observing her behavior, it was as if she were a curious bird, experiencing freedom beyond the confines of its cage for the very first time!
As Yang Ning continued walking, she turned around to catch a glimpse of Xiaowei, who was visibly exhausted and struggling to catch her breath.
