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

"Brother Crown Prince, I almost died," Zheng Nianru sobbed. It wasn't feigned tears; she truly was on the brink of death. The moment she fell into the river, a huge splash of water had struck her, leaving her scalp numb, her limbs utterly powerless.


Fortunately, she knew how to swim. In her previous life, Ju Nanyi had put a lot of effort into teaching her, even saying that her fate was tied to water and it was very likely she would die by it. Therefore, she learned and became quite proficient.


Despite that, Zheng Nianru remained lazy in this life, her limbs even lazier than before. Apart from barely struggling to break the surface, she found herself utterly unable to do anything else.
