Deer Sixteen

Zheng Nianru went from being a Commandery Princess who could be killed at any moment to the position of the Empress Dowager, wielding power over the world. What she couldn't accept was that she didn't end up with a good fate. However, Zheng Nianru thought that no one would have been able to save Nanzheng State.
Yet, she was reborn and, having deeply reflected upon her pain, also considered several past mistakes. Firstly, she should not have married down into the family of Ju Nanyi, a man with a narrow mind who came from a minor house, who only thought about romantic affairs and entangled with her in desperate affection, incapable of assisting Nanzheng. Secondly, she should not have killed everyone in Qiandao Temple, which was the spiritual pillar of the people of Nanzheng State. After all, there were better ways, weren't there, like seduction? Thirdly, she should not have been so confident that the monarch of the neighboring country would fall at her feet, nor should she have trusted the promise of that fickle neighboring monarch, which led to years of drawn-out conflict between the two states.
Um, Zheng Nianru felt she was not wrong. She just wanted to live well and to be a good Empress Dowager. Since she had the chance to live again, why did she have this chance? Could it be that she was expected to once again turn Nanzheng State upside down?

Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved

"Don't come any closer. If you don't want him to die, just stop where you are." Xing Yu tightly clutched Gu Dao, who was dizzy from the assault but ultimately did not faint.


"Let him go." Zong Yunqian's expression turned cold, but he did not move, instead he simply watched the woman before him.


"Princely Heir, you should leave quickly, don't worry about me." Once Gu Dao came to, he urgently shouted when he saw his own Princely Heir standing before him.


Zheng Nianru heard this, glanced at Gu Dao, and then looked toward the man before her.


Zong Yunqian looked at Zheng Nianru. The familiarity in his eyes had come back, realizing that he had seen this lady from a prominent family earlier on the painted boat.


Zheng Nianru slowly recalled, considering the identity of the man before her.
