"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.

The room fell into a shocking silence when Chang Ah suddenly stood up and slapped Xing Bao across her face, leaving a visible handprint on her face.
"Madam…." Xing Bao mewled to see Chang Ah looking at her with a loathing gaze in her eyes.
She was too stunned to speak. Out of all the people, she was expecting Chang Ah to at least believe in her.
She has served her for so long and in the most miserable moment of her life, her Master turned a blind eye towards her.
"HOW DARE YOU? UNTIL NOW I TREATED YOU AS MY YOUNGER SISTER AND NEVER SCOLDED YOU FOR ANYTHING BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE FREE TO DO ANYTHING." Chang Ah glared at Xing Ah who was still kneeling on the ground and was trembling in utter shock and humiliation.
" YANG NING IS THE DAUGHTER OF THIS HOUSEHOLD. SHE IS MY DAUGHTER! HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT HER AND WISH HER TO DIE? HUH?" Her voice trembled as she yelled at Xing Bao in front of everyone.
