One of the earliest examples of a woman coming in power that could rival an emperor's authority is Empress Natsume Takahiro, her maiden name. The wife of the first emperor in Sang who established the Ryuu Empire. Her greed for power could surpassed a man's ambition.
Born in 975 during the Warring States period. Historians called her 'The sparks of war'.
It is said that she was even above the heavenly emperor who united Sang, for she can bend him to her own will, wrapped around her little finger, and would listen to her every word.
But there must be a price, an exchange for a great fate to reach, something that has a great value must be lost.

"What about you, kangmas. Are you allowed to make out with a married woman?" Srikandi asked, lifting her face. Arjuna gasped at her words. "I'm not jealous of kangmbok Banuwati because she is your first love. But it's very unfair that you don't like me flirting with other men while you seduce women who are already married. Where is justice?" Arjuna was silent. His anger subsided. For a few moments, he was speechless. "I'm sorry, yayi. I'm mad at you because my heart is burning with jealousy. Even if it's just a glimpse, I can feel King Jatikusuma's lust for you." He said. He helped her to stand up. "When will you dance for me?" he asked, grabbing his wife's chin and tilting her head. Srikandi looked into her husband's eyes. "Don't I like to dance for you, kangmas?" she asked shyly. "Yes, I really like your dance, pretty girl." pleaded Arjuna. He ferociously kissed her thin lips.

The Emperor's Hidden Love
The Emperor's Hidden Love tells the story of me, Linghu Tongxi, a concubine in the grand and treacherous imperial palace. I entered the palace young and ambitious, with a single goal: to rise above my rivals and secure my place. I am beautiful, talented, and above all, I thrive on competition. If there are no rivals, life becomes dull. At first, I thought I had it all figured out. My opponents include a modern woman who mysteriously traveled back in time, a powerful young empress, and even a fierce female general who commands the military. But never did I consider the emperor himself as a contender in my game-until I discovered the truth. Emperor Huangfu Yan was cold, distant, and seemingly indifferent to me. His behavior was cruel at times, even humiliating me in front of others. I couldn't fathom why a man like him, who seemed to have no interest in the palace's inner workings, would pay attention to me. But behind his icy exterior, I began to realize something more. He had been secretly watching over me for years. Despite his aloofness, he had already fallen in love with me long before I ever noticed. As time passed, I found myself drawn to him-not just by his silent protection, but by the deep emotions I began to sense beneath his harsh exterior. Slowly, I started to understand the complexity of his feelings, his vulnerability hidden by a façade of indifference. Eventually, his love for me became undeniable, and with that realization, my own feelings shifted. I was no longer simply a player in the palace's power games. I was a woman in love with the emperor who had loved me all along. In the end, The Emperor's Hidden Love is a story of emotional growth and revelation. It's about learning to trust, to let down my guard, and to realize that even in the most unlikeliest of places, love can blossom in the most unexpected ways. This is a tale of palace intrigue, deep emotions, and the powerful transformation that comes with understanding and accepting true love.Complete
