"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.

"What? His Highness has come?" Guo Yurong exclaimed in surprise. Her eyes widened as she shot up from her chair, hesitantly glancing at Yang Ning, who also seemed equally confused and unaware of his sudden arrival.
It was a ladies' tea party, and it was already close to sunset, indicating that the party was coming to an end. However, she hadn't expected the Crown Prince to suddenly arrive at her place.
Like Guo Yurong, the other ladies were surprised when they heard that His Highness had come and had been waiting at the entrance of the Guo Residence. They exchanged glances and whispered to discuss the reason behind the sudden appearance of the Crown Prince at the Guo Residence.
"Did we hear it correctly? Did His Highness come here? But why did he come?" one lady questioned quietly.
