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

"Alright, alright, I'll stay with you until you fall asleep tonight, and tomorrow you can make a list of the things you want and send it to me," Zheng Congyuan dared not force his way, especially since the person on him was clinging to him like an octopus with arms and legs entwined.


"I don't want to." Zheng Nianru fussed but was clear-headed, enjoying the current Zheng Congyuan—this was her Brother Crown Prince.


"Then I will leave right now." Zheng Congyuan finally caught the hands of the person in his arms, looked at her without delving into her fake cries, and clung to him in his moment of panic.


Zheng Nianru did not believe it, and during her struggle, she intentionally loosened her collar to reveal a faint bruise on her neck, which caught Zheng Congyuan's eyes. Immediately, he forgot what he had just said. His grip on Zheng Nianru weakened almost completely.
