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

The sudden invitation sent out by the Zong Sheng Aristocratic Family left the ladies of the other noble families quite astonished, but upon thinking about the underlying implications in the words of Zong Sheng's Eldest Madam, they gradually ceased to be surprised.


Therefore, once they understood the crux of the matter, there were few among the noble ladies who were not tempted.


Especially since, aside from the Crown Prince, there was indeed nothing more alluring in the Imperial Palace. On the contrary, the Zong Sheng Aristocratic Family was different, and Eldest Madam Zong Sheng was capable of bearing children, having given birth to such an excellent Princely Heir, and the family also had the backing of Qiandao Temple.
