Fang Li was once a national archery champion; sharp-tongued, fearless, and someone who never backed down from a fight.
Until her best friend framed her for cheating and destroyed her career in a single public scandal.
Everything collapses overnight.
She tells herself it’s the end.
She was wrong.
Because she wakes up inside a historical novel.
As a villainess.
Yang Ning, the eldest daughter of a powerful minister, destined to become the most infamous Empress in history… and die a miserable death. A typical villainess ending.
Her father is a man who trades people like currency.
Her stepmother used to torture her.
Her life was nothing but “glorious”, what a joke.
From being hated by the entire country… she ends up trapped in a household where survival itself is conditional.
Just kill her already.
And before she can even understand her fate—
She is already betrothed to Crown Prince Zheng Liang.
Cold. Sharp. And already treating her existence as an unwanted political mistake.
In the original story, she is meant to obey, spy, and follow a script that ends in her downfall.
A perfect villainess trajectory.
A guaranteed ending.
Until Yang Ning opens her mouth.
“Your Highness, please cancel this engagement.”
The Crown Prince, who expected her to impress him and flatter him, stops.
She wants to cancel the engagement?
“So you’re telling me you don’t want to marry me? Didn’t you want this?”
Crown Prince Zheng Liang is stunned. What was all the drama and plotting for, then?
Yang Ning, the eldest daughter of a powerful minister, the so-called obedient pawn, wants out?
He should be relieved. Instead, her calm smile and complete lack of desperation make him question everything.
How did she go from a proper noble lady… to someone who can’t even walk straight without stumbling twice?
“Your Highness, I don’t want to be a sacrificial lamb, thank you very much,” she says sweetly, sarcasm hiding in every word.
Inside, she is already exhausted. Just cancel it already… I don’t want to die so soon…
The Crown Prince is silent.
Then he speaks.
“No. It is a royal marriage. It cannot be cancelled like this. You have no choice but to marry me.”
Yang Ning freezes.
What?
The script just broke.
