"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.

Yang Luoyang clenched his fists and could feel his blood boiling in rage. By questioning him about the tax collections in front of everyone, Zheng Liang has not only humiliated him but has also questioned his authority as the Head of the Finance Department.
If Zheng Liang embarrasses him in front of everyone like this, how can others trust him next time and join hands with him? He married Yang Ning to him to improve his reputation in the royal court and not to get humiliated in front of everyone like this.
He took a deep breath as he could feel everyone's curious gazes on him and could feel that they were waiting for him to come up with some explanation. Because in this matter, not only he but others were also involved.
