"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.

"No. It cannot be true."
" It's not real." The maid who was assisting Yang Ning and was stationed in Zheng Liang's chamber to look after her was worried to see Yang Ning groaning and sleep-talking in her unconscious state.
Her eyes were closed but she was frowning in her sleep and was covered in a cold sweat. "Is she having a nightmare?" She wondered.
The maid looked around to see what she could do to help her and decided to pull down the curtains of the windows to stop the outside light from coming inside the room so that Yang Ning could sleep in peace.
Since it was still bright outside and all the windows were open, the bright light of the day was infiltrating the chamber.
However, this action of hers didn't help Yang Ning to sleep peacefully, without any nightmares. She was still tossing around in her sleep and was groaning and even crying as if she was having difficulty sleeping.
