"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.

Yang Luoyang's expression darkened to see the Emperor allowing Zheng Liang to speak. He glanced at Zheng Liang and wondered what it is that he wants to discuss in front of everyone.
" Your Majesty, pardon me for being rude. However, I believe that it wouldn't be appropriate for His Highness to discuss that matter in the royal court in front of everyone. It wouldn't be good for the reputation of the two families involved in this matter. There are also chances that people will not take His Highness's words seriously afterward. It wasn't an incident that one should be proud of after all" Yang Luoyang interjected and requested the Emperor to think about it once again.
The Emperor pursed his lips as he fell into deep thought. It is true that discussing this matter will only bring shame to both families. What if the rumors become worse afterward? He wondered.
