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.

Not Villainess but the Love Cupid.
Zheng Xiang grew tired of listening to Yang Ning's never-ending blabbering. After finishing his meal, he wanted to return to the Jade Pavilion as soon as possible to avoid continuing to witness his brother's public display of affection.
He still couldn't fathom the fact that his seemingly cold-hearted and indifferent brother, named the 'Stone-Hearted Prince' by ministers who feared his heartless and frigid approach to matters, had transformed into a devoted husband around his wife. Zheng Liang's affectionate and sweet demeanor around Yang Ning sent shivers down his spine, making him realize the depth of Zheng Liang's love for his wife.
Zheng Xiang wiped his hands clean with a napkin, casting a glance at Zheng Liang and then at Yang Ning. He spoke earnestly, "Thank you for inviting me for a meal. I will take my leave now." He couldn't bear another minute of staying with them and being force-fed with their displays of romance.
