"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.

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.

Observing the sweet and affectionate interaction between the couple, Lady Guo and Madam Liu lowered their heads in embarrassment, feeling a bit shy as onlookers.
The ladies, who had come to bid farewell to Yang Ning and discover the reason for Zheng Liang's visit to the Guo Residence, witnessed Zheng Liang wrapping his arms around Yang Ning's shoulders openly, not hiding their affection for each other.
Amazed, the ladies covered their mouths and tried to control their giggles, whispering in low voices:
"Oh my! So His Highness indeed came to pick up the Crown Princess. She's so lucky. His Highness loves her so much," one lady whispered.
"Indeed. My husband never comes to take me from my parents' house. Yet, he came to the Guo Residence to pick her up despite her arriving in her carriage with her servants."
