"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.

Yang Ning was surprised when Zheng Liang suddenly closed the distance between the two and placed a finger on her lips to prevent her from speaking.
She pursed her lips and blinked her large eyes in confusion. This way, she could see his face from proximity and was surprised that he doesn't even have dark circles under his eyes or blackheads on his nose.
How come he has such perfect skin? HOWW?? Is he a vampire or what? She wondered while screaming inwardly.
She looked at Zheng Liang with her sparkling eyes and waited for him to remove his finger from her lips and explain the meaning behind his actions.
Zheng Liang, who was also surprised by his sudden reflex, got embarrassed by the way Yang Ning was staring at him and removed his finger from her lips immediately, upon remembering that incident when he saved her from drowning the other day.
He stole a glance at her rose-tinted lips and could feel his lips getting dry.
