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.

Rebellious Crown Princess
When Yang Ning finally woke up the next morning, she discovered the sun shining high in the sky, indicating it was already approaching noon. Unlike her experiences in the royal palace, Xiaowei hadn't awakened her early, allowing her to sleep in until the growling of her stomach roused her from slumber.
In a haze of confusion, she realized it was late in the morning, and Zheng Liang had already left for work.
Her fingers gently traced the empty space next to her on the bed, a soft smile gracing her lips. Although she had drifted off early the previous night, she had awoken in the middle of it, finding herself nestled within Zheng Liang's embrace.
A rosy blush adorned her cheeks as she realized her face had been pressed against his chest, her hands entwined around his waist. They had been so intimately close, sensing the rise and fall of his chest and hearing the rhythm of his heartbeat.
