"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.

Yang Ning was unfazed by Yang Luoyang's gloomy gaze and gesture to Xiaowei, her maidservant who was standing behind her. Xiaowei handed over the scrolls to His Majesty's servant, who then passed them to Emperor Zheng Huang.
As Zheng Huang examined the documents, he frowned and looked at Yang Ning quizzically. "What are these documents, Yang Ning?"
Yang Ning glanced at the confused ministers before addressing Zheng Huang. "Your Majesty, these are proof of the crimes committed by Minister Yang. These documents record all the illegal properties and wealth gathered by Minister Yang through corruption over the years. It's not just the villa in the south of the empire, but many more properties with an abundance of wealth."
