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.

Past will repeat itself!
"Mm! These are so delicious. It's hard to believe I nearly missed out on their taste," Yang Ning exclaimed as she relished the lamb skewers in her hand. The couple strolled back toward where their carriage was parked.
In a typical setting, Gu Lan would have arranged for the carriage to be ready, but considering they were in a bustling place like the central market during the spring festival carnival, it was impossible for him to discreetly bring the carriage without drawing attention to their royal identities as the Crown Prince and Princess.
Zheng Liang, who was carrying Yang Ning's shopping bags, flashed a warm smile and remarked, "I am pleased I bought these for you. Otherwise, you would have never forgiven me for almost depriving you of this delightful local treat. You would have banished me to the guest chamber for sure," he added with a playful tone, hinting at how easily she gives him such punishments in passing.
