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

Ju Nanyi was surprised inside. So, this beast that the Commander-in-chief Ling mentioned was once an Evil Cult? Ju Nanyi even recalled that this cult had a name, probably called something like Ghoul Ravine.


"Lord Ju, it seems that the men under Commander Ling Ge were killed by this monster," Qi Ling, following behind, now slowly spoke up. "We currently do not know how many such monsters have infiltrated Zheng Capital and whether it might cause... like in the past..."


Qi Ling suddenly shut his mouth, stepped quickly forward, and opened a door hidden at the foot of the mountain within the dense forest.


"Who's there?" A voice quickly came from the darkness.


This place was the Royal Hunting Area, normally off-limits, and the voice emanating from the darkness sounded fierce and bitterly cold, as if it could strike at any moment.
