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

Elder Can staggered, trying to retreat but almost collapsing to the ground, while the youth, seemingly oblivious, walked straight out.


Upon seeing this, Ju Nanyi looked towards Lan Xing, who was beside him.


Lan Xing gave Ju Nanyi a meaningful glance, and Ju Nanyi immediately guessed the meaning behind Lan Xing's eyes—had he been brought back by the Eldest Princess?


However, this youth looked somewhat familiar.


The next moment, Ju Nanyi looked up, visibly surprised to see a face he seemed to recognize and identified the visitor.


Ju Nanyi felt sure he wasn't mistaken, he had seen this youth more than once, accompanying Princess Chao Ren, once at Siyan Lake, and even earlier, at an inn.


To Ju Nanyi's surprise, wasn't this youth supposed to be an eunuch? He remembered seeing the youth in eunuch's attire, which was precisely why Ju Nanyi, despite feeling a sense of familiarity, hadn't thought in that direction initially.
