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.

Tea Party (VIII)
Hou Wei's expression darkened as Chang Ah addressed Yang Ning as a pest and made humiliating remarks. Even though she was the mother of the Crown Princess, how could she use such derogatory terms? Hou Wei was utterly speechless.
"Madam, mind your words. You're speaking about the Crown Princess of the Empire. Even if you're her mother, you have no right to speak in such a manner about her," Hou Wei said in a cold voice.
Chang Ah's face reddened with anger as the seemingly insignificant girl, who came from no noble background, dared to scold her and teach her manners. Since Chang Ah also came from a non-noble background and had been looked down upon by others for her lack of noble manners and etiquette after marrying Yang Luoyang, Hou Wei's words stung her like a sharp sword to the heart.
