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?

"Master Ling Yi—" Someone's voice, an unknown trembling fear shattered in an instant, time seemed to stop, roars like thunder, as if in the realm of Asura Hell, everyone froze.


People watched with their own eyes as Master Ling Yi's head fell, no earth-shattering battle, no cries to heaven or hell. At the moment when Master Ling Yi's head dropped, what people witnessed more was disbelief.


How could it be, the shining glory of Qiandao Temple, the beacon that illuminated every disciple of the master, just like that... dead?


Shock, fear, unwillingness, even unprecedented doubt about their proud and honorable identities.


"Brother—" Master Chang Yu was about to rush forward but was held back by Bao Xing. Although he had just arrived, he could see that there were not many left now who could take charge. If this one rushed out to die, Qiandao Temple would be completely scattered.
