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.

Subtle warning!
"Now, tell me, does anyone have any more objections? If there are, I am happy to address them all," Zheng Liang asked coldly and intimidatingly, making the ministers shudder at the Crown Prince's icy demeanor.
The ministers had expected that Zheng Liang would at least support their arguments since Zheng Xiang's return to the palace wouldn't be good for him either. However, not only did he silence them, but he also humiliated them in front of everyone, subtly threatening everyone by hinting at their pending criminal cases.
While everyone remained silent, bowing their heads to avoid Zheng Liang's piercing gaze, Yang Luoyang gritted his teeth and asked with a seemingly sincere expression, attempting to conceal his annoyance. "Your Highness, we have no objections to Prince Zheng Xiang's appointment as the Finance Inspector. However, what about Officer Zen, who has been in this position for so long and served the royal court loyally?"
