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.

Did she miss me?
After meeting with Master Jiang, Zheng Liang and Yang Ning returned to their chamber. Their conversation with Master Jiang went longer than they had expected.
By the time they reached Dragon Pavilion, it was quite late and past their usual dinner time.
Yang Ning was expecting Zheng Liang to return to the study room and to continue with his work. However, rather than returning to the study room, he stayed with her instead for dinner.
She felt strange because she was having dinner with him after so long. After His Majesty has fallen sick, she has been eating her meals alone as Zheng Liang was busy with royal court work for most of his time and rarely comes to their chamber.
Though she was used to eating her meals alone, after getting married to him, she started to enjoy the feeling of having dinner together.
That's why she was surprised when he said that he will be staying for dinner.
