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.

"We have arrived," Gu Lan announced as the carriage came to a stop at their destination. He swiftly exited the carriage, intending to assist Xiaowei before escorting His Highness and the Princess.
However, before he could make his way to the other side to assist Xiaowei, she abruptly leaped from the carriage, as though she had been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to do so. Due to the carriage's height relative to her petite frame, she stumbled briefly upon landing but managed to regain her composure without causing a scene.
"Thank you, Lord," she sighed in relief as she steadied herself on the ground and patted her chest in relief, grateful that she hadn't fallen in an embarrassing manner.
Gu Lan, standing on the opposite side, couldn't help but scoff inwardly at the way she had chosen to disembark. It left him wondering, had she been so opposed to sitting beside him that she preferred to risk falling rather than allowing him to assist her?
