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.

After departing from the Wang Residence, Yang Ning opted to make a brief stop at Lady Guo's boutique, conveniently located on her way back to the palace. It had been a few weeks since she attended the tea party, and after that, she hadn't had the chance to visit her boutique once because she was busy with the palace work and management. Seizing the opportunity while outside the palace, Yang Ning was determined to take advantage of the opportunity to explore the boutique that had received numerous praises.
In the past, Yang Ning lacked the freedom to venture outside the palace at her own will. She was still accommodating to the palace rules and lacked the authority to make significant decisions. The former Empress had never bestowed upon her the power to share the burden of managing internal palace affairs. This absence of empowerment hindered Yang Ning's reputation and authority within the palace.
