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.

Why are you flushing?
Upon hearing Gu Lan's investigation report, Zheng Liang clenched his fists, and a gloomy atmosphere enveloped him. It seemed too much of a coincidence that only a few weeks after Yang Ning's mother's death, his mother began to display similar symptoms of an incurable illness. Even renowned physicians like Master Jiang couldn't identify its cause or find an appropriate cure.
As a young child, Zheng Liang witnessed his mother suffering from an illness that drained her youth and vitality, leaving her lifeless for months before her eventual passing. Day by day, she fought against an unknown illness, her condition deteriorating while Zheng remained unaware of her silent struggle. Despite her severe illness, his mother's pale face and weakened body lacked the strength to rise from bed, yet she always made an effort to smile in his presence, masking her worsening health to shield him from worry.
