"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. 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.

"Look! The woman whose mere presence once compelled all to bow with reverence is now being forcibly dragged by the royal guards. How utterly disgraceful," whispered one of the ministers as he observed the pitiful condition of Yang Lingxin.
Nonetheless, the prevailing belief among everyone was that she had brought this fate upon herself.
She let her ambition consume her and shattered her once blissful married life in her audacious attempt to poison His Majesty. Had she exercised restraint over her insatiable greed, she could have basked in a life of luxury and earned the respect of all as the revered Empress of the Empire.
Amidst the somber gathering bidding farewell to Yang Lingxin, hushed whispers permeated the air, as if the spectators were not so much bidding farewell as they were eagerly observing her expulsion from the palace, destined to be exiled to the desolate cold palace where she would meet her solitary and desolate end.
