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

Zong Yunqian had just gotten into the carriage when Eldest Madam Zong wished she could hammer the person in front of her to half-death. However, before leaving the house, Old Madam Zong had instructed, again and again, that she must not lose her temper again as she still had to enter the palace later, and moreover, she had been whipped the night before. Her hand was raised mid-air, yet she let it fall again.


Gu Dao and Xi Feng, who were carrying gifts, also arrived in front of the carriage, intending to squeeze in and return with it. Before they could load the things into the carriage, they were kicked out by Eldest Madam Zong, two worthless servants following their master's reckless antics.
