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.

She is living a good life.
After a long uphill walk, Zheng Liang and Yang Ning eventually arrived at the location where Yang Ning's mother's grave lay. Gu Lan and Xiaowei stood at a respectful distance, allowing Yang Ning and Zheng Liang to stand solemnly in front of the grave, paying their heartfelt respects.
As Yang Ning gazed upon the grave of her mother, a whirlpool of emotions stirred within her. Memories of the moments that little Yang Ning shared with her mother flooded her mind, overwhelming her with a torrent of emotions.
In Yang Ning's memories, the only period when joy and smiles adorned her was during her mother's lifetime. As a little girl, she basked in the affection of her mother, who pampered her with various delicacies, adorned her with countless ornaments, and even handcrafted beautiful dresses.
