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.

Fall of the Villain
"We have proof." After saying this, Zheng Liang nodded to a guard, who brought forward a small, ornate box. "This contains Madam Yao Ru's last letter. She wrote down what she heard and her fears for her life. She entrusted it to a loyal servant to be delivered if anything happened to her."
As the Emperor read the letter, Zheng Liang addressed the court again. "For months, I've been investigating my mother's death and Yang Ning's past. The way Yang Luoyang treated her was never like a real father. My search uncovered substantial evidence of his heinous crimes."
