"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.

Inside the chamber, after the strenuous and passionate afternoon, the couple lay on the bed, snuggled up to each other, covered with blankets. Yang Ning had her head rested on Zheng Liang's arms, her hands wrapped around his waist, cuddling close to him after their embarrassingly passionate intimate moment.
Yang Ning was utterly exhausted and didn't have an ounce of energy to move around. Her eyes were closed as she rested while hugging him close, feeling his warmth that calmed her racing heart.
Zheng Liang, observing his wife's beautiful face as she rested, spoke, "You didn't say anything when you went outside in the morning. Is that a secret?" He asked while playing with a few strands of her hair, gently curling them around his finger, adoring his beautiful wife who looked even more gorgeous after their intimate moment. Her hair was tousled, her eyes droopy from tiredness, and her body covered in marks.
