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

"Commandery Princess? Commandery Princess?!" Zheng Haoyuan howled, forgetting even his fear as he lunged toward Fu Dong and Nian Xia; he had just seen, seen...


No, it couldn't be true. How could the Commandery Princess have fallen?


Zheng Haoyuan's mind went blank, neglecting even the tiger, as he roughly pushed past Fu Dong, Nian Xia, and Xue Liu.


"Commandery Princess, where are you? Commandery Princess?"


Fu Dong turned around, pale-faced, lips trembling, nearly fainting on the spot.


"Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess—"


Zheng Haoyuan leaned over the remaining shaky railing to look down.


Zong Yunqian immediately leaped forward, squinting to see another figure, and yet it seemed not to be one.


"Gu Dao, Xi Feng, quickly finish off the tiger—" while speaking, Zong Yunqian quickly formed a hand gesture and jumped straight down.


Zheng Haoyuan, clutching his robe, was about to jump down after him; if Heir Zong could save the Commandery Princess, then naturally, he could too.
