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.

Isn't everything moving too quickly?
As Zheng Liang lowered his head, bringing himself closer to Yang Ning's level, a sense of anticipation filled the air. Time seemed to slow down, and her breath caught in her throat.
Her eyes widened in a mixture of shock and bewilderment as his face drew nearer, the proximity becoming almost intimate.
She could feel the warmth of his breath against her skin, and at that moment, everything else seemed to fade away, leaving her mind blank with the intensity of the impending moment.
'Isn't everything moving too quickly? Should I just faint and pretend to be unconscious?' Yang Ning's thoughts raced, contemplating an escape from the escalating intensity of the moment.
The idea of feigning unconsciousness crossed her mind as a way to temporarily evade the overwhelming situation.
However, she remained torn, unsure of the best course of action to take.
