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.

So she finally came?
"I am eager to meet the person Master Jiang has selected as his disciple. However, I can't see him here. Did he go somewhere else?" Yang Ning asked about the disciple that Master Jiang was boasting about, her eyes scanning the room curiously.
Before the old man could respond to her curious question, they all turned toward the door, where a soft and sweet voice was emanating, drawing their attention and adding a new layer of intrigue to the scene. "Master."
Standing at the door was a beautiful woman in a plain dark blue dress. She smiled brightly at them while holding a tray in her hands. Her long hair was tied in a neat braid, and her big eyes sparkled with kindness. Despite her simple attire, she radiated an inner glow that made her shine.
Her face was gentle and sweet, and even in the most unadorned appearance, her purity and grace were evident.
