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?

Zheng Nianru's arm was seized in the darkness, a secret signal between her and Yin He. From the moment she suspected his real identity, she suddenly decided to do so. As for why, perhaps even Zheng Nianru herself couldn't explain clearly.


If someone really asked, it was just because they had nothing better to do. Living this life again wasn't as heroic as she had imagined, and there was only so much she could change alone.


So if she couldn't change much, why not stir things up? Otherwise, life would truly be as stagnant as a dead pond.


Before Zheng Nianru could even move, the person who had grabbed her arm was suddenly struck by a powerful force and sent flying. Before Zheng Nianru could realize what was happening, another massive force reached her, scattering the darkness surrounding her in an instant. She looked up to see a white figure, like a giant bird, and she felt like a rabbit, utterly unable to move on the ground.
