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.

I will protect you with my life.
Seeing Zheng Liang's worried expression, Master Jiang smiled gently and announced the news, "Your Highness, congratulations. You're going to be a father. Her Highness is pregnant."
Upon hearing those words, the room fell silent. Zheng Liang was rendered speechless, his gaze shifting from Master Jiang to Yang Ning behind him, both equally stunned by the unexpected news.
It was Hou Wei, who broke the puzzling silence. She turned to Yang Ning, who lay on the bed in confusion, and said excitedly, "Congratulations, Your Highness! You're going to give birth to the little prince or princess of the Zheng Empire."
"Ah?" Yang Ning's mouth parted in bewilderment, her eyes widening in confusion. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was she hallucinating from weakness, or was this real? She... pregnant?
