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

He Jin remained unmoved, and in urgency, Kan Gulin reached out to pull at He Jin's sleeve.


"Brother Gulin, this is not the place to talk," He Jin pulled back his sleeve, his expression uneasy. Although the atmosphere outside Hanyuan Hall seemed amiable and intimate, it was filled with lurking dangers everywhere.


Naturally, He Jin was one of those excluded; even Kan Gulin, an official of no power and no rank, was also excluded. No one would pay attention to a powerless Prince Consort and a similarly powerless official and what they would do.


Kan Gulin, anxious in his heart, couldn't care if others were around and drew closer to He Jin.


"I have gathered quite a bit of evidence; the Wen Family should have been executed long ago — we even have the Imperial Forest Guard and the Eldest Princess..."


He Jin immediately grabbed the man's arm with such force that it almost made him cry out in pain.
