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

Before the person above her could speak, Xia Zhiqian knelt down, simultaneously raising her hand and presenting the bamboo tube that she held, palm facing upward. The Lord Qi Ling who had brought her in took the bamboo tube from her hands and handed it to the Crown Prince standing before them.


In her peripheral vision, Xia Zhiqian caught a glimpse of the resplendent blue brocade hem that belonged to the Crown Prince. At the same time, her heart became somewhat chaotic with this realization, as if someone had glimpsed a secret of hers in a flash.


"Miss Xia, please rise," Xia Zhiqian finally heard the person above her speak. The voice was deep and gentle, even more pleasant than she had ever imagined, as if all her fantasies had suddenly become tangible.
