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 hurried back to the Imperial Palace from outside the palace, and Qi Lin, the newly appointed Deputy Commander of the Imperial Forest Guard, was guarding the gate and immediately greeted him upon arrival.


"Lord Ju, you've finally arrived—the Crown Prince has been waiting for you." Ju Nanyi nodded, and Qi Lin immediately led him towards the interior of the palace.


At that moment, with the urgency of the situation, when the carriage charged towards Zheng Nianru, Ju Nanyi felt as if his heart was about to fly out. Fortunately, he knew Xing Yu was strong and also knew that the carriage's charge had been deliberate.


Ju Nanyi did not know how to describe his feelings at that time. The things that had been suppressed within him erupted in that instant. He had insisted on standing at the palace gate just in case those monsters took the opportunity to strike, and perhaps he had a personal reason—to openly see that figure during such moments.
