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 II
"Let's see who will come to your defense," the man scoffed arrogantly as he viciously gripped a fistful of the woman's hair and pulled on them spitefully and aggressively.
The gathered crowd held their breath as they watched the intimidating man, with his imposing stature and a menacing appearance, poised to strike the delicate and gentle-looking girl, who resembled a fairy.
Initially, they anticipated a mere verbal argument, never expecting that the man would stoop so low as to resort to violence against the woman in full view of everyone.
Panic spread among the onlookers, their eyes darting between each other in search of someone willing to intervene and aid the distressed girl. However, the fear of unnecessary trouble deterred them from taking action, as they did not want to embroil themselves in the situation.
