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.

Royal Court II
"Zheng Liang!" The Emperor's eyes turned red in rage to see his son interrupting him and rebelling against him.
He has no bad blood against Yang Ning.
Instead, he started to like her from the day he saw her at the Birthday Celebration of Zheng Liang, where she showed her thoughtfulness about the people of the Zheng Empire.
He was glad that he picked her as the bride of Zheng Liang. However, he was not pleased by the way Zheng Liang was protecting her even though she was in the wrong.
He will not accept anyone who will try to tarnish the reputation of the royal family. She not only killed the bear in one shot but this rash action of hers will make people think otherwise of Zheng Liang.
He is the Crown Prince of the Empire yet he failed to protect the people from being killed. However, despite being a weak and fragile woman, Yang Ning killed the wild bear.
