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

"Prince Duan, I wish to marry Princess Chao Ren," Zong Yunqian didn't beat around the bush, speaking directly and earnestly, even wanting to state his position.


"In your dreams—" Prince Duan would not allow him to continue, already grabbing the door bolt, "Get out, you whelp."


"Prince Duan, let's talk—" Zong Yunqian had anticipated a strong reaction from their family, but he had not expected Prince Duan to react so vehemently.


"Talk? There's nothing to discuss, I will never agree," Prince Duan said, wielding the door bolt as if to strike Zong Yunqian. Gu Dao and Xi Feng, panicked yet not daring to intervene, quickly stepped in front of their young master.


"Prince Duan, please calm down, our Princely Heir has something to say," they pleaded.


"I have nothing to say to him," Zheng Boding gasped, the breath caught in his chest, his grip tightening on the door bolt as it came down harshly on Gu Dao's arm.
