"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.

"Lady Yang Ning, this way." Gu Lan calmly directed Yang Ning and Xiaowei to the backdoor of the brothel. Even though he dislikes her, he is not someone to ignore his responsibilities and be rude toward her.
Yang Ning and Xiaowei were following him while holding their skirts and were walking as fast as possible, sometimes trotting to catch up to Gu Lan's fast pace of walking.
" If we leave from this door, will we be out of danger?" Yang Ning asked when they reached the backdoor of the brothel, which was enormous and had lots of dust covering it as if it's not been in use for long.
" Yes. Since the bear is near the front gate, you will be fine if you leave from this gate and walk straight using this road. This road will take you to the main road from where we came a while ago and go back to the Yang Household." He explained as he tried to push the door open which seemed to be jammed due to not being in use and was covered in dust.
