"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.

Zheng Liang was engrossed in his work in the study when he lifted his gaze and glanced at the closed wooden door.
A frown creased his forehead.
Typically, by this time, Master Jiang would arrive at the Dragon Pavilion with his assistant to apply ointment to Zheng Liang's wound and provide him with his medicine.
After the incident involving His Majesty, Master Jiang personally took on the responsibility of treating the royal family members. That's why, even for a simple task like applying ointment to his wounds, Master Jiang preferred to handle it himself rather than delegating it to someone else.
"Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Zheng Liang impatiently pondered.
Today, he had planned to request another examination and obtain a detailed report to convince Yang Ning that he had completely recovered.
