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.

Familiar Strangers
Fang Li stood at the entrance gate of Haixiang Sports University, her heart pounding with a mixture of anxiety and reluctance. The familiar campus, once a second home, now felt alien and unwelcoming. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for what lay ahead.
As she was about to step inside, a group of familiar faces caught her eye. Her old teammates, the very ones who had turned their backs on her during the scandal, were huddled together near the gate, seemingly ready for a night out. Their eyes widened as they spotted her, a mix of guilt and surprise etched on their faces.
"Fang Li!" one of them called out, her voice hesitant. "You're... you're back."
Fang Li forced a polite smile, though it didn't reach her eyes. "Just visiting," she replied coolly.
