"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.

Yang Ning sighed heavily and was about to follow everyone to the dining room when she noticed someone's gaze on her. She looked to her side and realized that Yang Jian was glancing at her as he walked by his parent's side.
'Hmm? Is he looking at me?' She wondered and decided to smile at him in return. Looks like he isn't as bad as she had heard stories about him.
That's right. He is just a child after all. Even though he is Chang Ah's son, it doesn't mean that he has to be mean and arrogant like her.
She smiled at him from afar and even raised her hand to wave at him to greet him as his sister. She also has a younger brother, so it was natural for her to bond with kids easily.
Even though Yang Luoyang and Chang Ah didn't bother to introduce her to Yang Jian and ignored her existence as if she is part of the servant's group, it doesn't harm if she takes a friendly step toward him.
