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?

On the third day early in the morning, Zheng Nianru was urged by Nian Xia and others to get up early. She selected a set of clothes that were not too complicated. Early in the morning, Zheng Haoyuan eagerly arrived at the gates of Prince Duan's Mansion, and he knew that this time Prince Duan had personally agreed to it.


On that day, Prince Duan, being concerned, had people find Cang Er and gave him repeated and explicit instructions, only then did he let Cang Er go.


Prince Duan had intentionally postponed his morning affairs to inspect the men and horses brought by Zheng Haoyuan. Although he couldn't explicitly say anything, seeing the considerable number of people, all from the Imperial Forest Guard, he let out a cold snort.


Zheng Haoyuan may have been somewhat reckless, but, towards Zheng Nianru, he was exceptionally kind.
