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.

Emergency Court Session IV
After Yang Ning questioned the loyalty of the ministers, one of the ministers stepped forward and tried to explain their side. "Princess Consort, you are misunderstanding our intentions. We did not say that we do not trust Master Jiang or His Highness. However, it was the situation that was making us think twice before making any decision regarding this matter."
"We are the people who serve His Majesty and always wish the best for the Empire. That is why we work day and night, ignoring our family and comfort. Please understand our position and kindly do not accuse us of insulting His Highness which we never intended to do."
"Yes, Your Highness! Please believe in us." The other ministers except Yang Luoyang kneeled on the ground and pleaded simultaneously to Zheng Liang as if chanting a hymn.
