"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. This is a fun, romantic comedy full of witty banter! Cover: Original cover design by the author – kindly refrain from using without permission.

Yang Ning's hands curled in a tight fist to see Xiaowei begging this Bastard Father of Yang Ning. They did nothing wrong and yet they were being treated as if they have murdered someone.
' Yang Luoyang, do you think you can get away after threatening me like this? Never.' Yang Ning glared at Yang Luoyang and decided in her heart.
She was fine until he had said those words to her. So what if she has to go home back with him? What is he gonna do to her?
If Yang Ning failed to stand up against this Bastard Father of hers, then she will be the one to help her and be the pillar of support that she needed. She will be her SAVIOR.
Her end won't be the same anymore.
She was planning to live in this world quietly and leave after finding her way back to her world. But it seems like before going back to her world, she has some new tasks to complete now.
' Minster Yang, Just wait and watch. I will show you what it means to be a Father of a Rebellious Daughter.' Yang Ning scoffed in mocking which went unnoticed by everyone's gaze due to the chaotic commotion that was happening in front of the Royal Palace.
Since all the guests are already inside, there weren't many people outside to see the dramatic scene that was unfolding outside. The guards who were standing outside the palace had turned their backs and were trying hard to pretend as if they did not exist here and were just standing there like a statue.

" Xiaowei, I am your Master. And I am telling you to get up. We did nothing wrong. You don't have to-" Yang Ning sighed heavily before she bent down to pull Xiaowei up who was still kneeling on the ground.
"WHAT IS THIS COMMOTION HERE?" Yang Ning, who was pulling on Xiaowei's arm, was startled when she heard a deep and annoyed voice of a man.
When she looked to her side, she saw a man standing there in a yellow-colored robe that was adorned with precious colorful gems and had a delicate work of golden and silver thread on it.
Yang Ning's mouth was left parted in awe to not only see the regal outfit but the man who was wearing it. The man was tall and even though he was wearing multiple layers of clothing under his outer robe, she could tell that this man has a muscular-toned body.
This world has an unnecessary number of layers of clothing that one is supposed to wear, despite the hot weather. It's freaking hot at the moment and yet she was forced to wear multiple layers of clothing under her dress.
It feels as if she had worn five kinds of different bras before wearing her final dress.
Why does she have to wear so many kinds of undergarments before the main dress? So much waste of clothing.
Despite wearing so many layers underneath, this man managed to look strikingly good-looking. His hair was silky black and had a sharp jawline. His face was not just a face but was like a piece of artwork.
"PERFECT!" She mouthed out unknowingly as she stared at his heavenly looks. If he had been in her world, this man must be working as a Top Model or an actor for sure.
'His looks are too good to be wasted like this in this world.' She sighed in disappointment. If she had worked as his manager then her pockets would be loaded with money.

" Your Highness! What brings you here?" Yang Luoyang and Chang Ah greeted Zheng Liang who appeared out of nowhere.
Yang Luoyang clasped both of his hands nervously as he glared at Xiaowei who was still kneeling on the ground and eyed her to get up immediately. How come he only appears at times like this when he is reprimanding Yang Ning and her maid?
Yesterday, he made quite a scene at the Yang Household, and even today. What is going on with him and his timing to appear at bad timings only?
Zheng Liang glanced at Yang Luoyang but didn't accept his greetings. He has more important things to do than accepting the greeting of a person like him,
Rather than wasting his time responding to Yang Luoyang's greetings, Zheng Liang turned towards Yang Ning, who was now standing straight and was staring at him in a daze.
He raised his brows in amazement when he met eyes with Yang Ning's large and clear eyes and was surprised how she wasn't even intimidated by his gaze and didn't avoid him.
" Lady Yang Ning, Is something the matter? Did….someone say anything to you? " Zheng Liang asked Yang Ning before glancing at Yang Luoyang who was now smiling nervously.
' This bitch. Don't you dare spout any nonsense in front of the Crown Prince. Otherwise, I will not leave you alone.' Yang Luoyang thought in his head while smiling in front of everyone.
" My Lady! His Highness is speaking to you." Xiaowei tugged on Yang Ning's sleeves who was lost in her Lala Land and carefully reminded her about her surroundings.
Seeing her getting lost like this in the middle of the conversation, she was not even surprised anymore. Since last night, she has witnessed so many unbelievable events in front of her, that things like these do not even falter her anymore.
" Ah! His Highness." Yang Ning nodded in a daze as she smiled at the beautiful man in front of her.
'So his name is Highness. Hmm…what a nice name.'
" What? HIS HIGHNESS? YOU MEAN….THE CROWN PRINCE?" However, when she realized that His Highness is not the man's name but his title, she couldn't help herself from shouting it out loud. So….the person standing in front of her is none other than the male lead of the story, Zheng Liang?
No doubt why he looked exceptionally handsome for the men of this world. He is the Male Lead of the novel after all.
Hmm….So dreamy!
She has only read about his exceptionally regal looks in words and wondered how exceptionally handsome he must be to be praised like that. However, after seeing him in person, she can affirm that all the metaphors that were used to describe his beauty, were all true.
Only if she had met him in the real world, she would do anything to hold onto him. Where would she find a rare beauty like him?
'Wait a minute!'
Yang Ning's fangirling smile slowly vanished when she realized that in this world, she is not the Female lead or his fan, but the Villainess who gets the death punishment from the Emperor - The Male of the Story.
'Damn it.'
