Life as an Ottoman Sultana was hard because you have to play the game of thrones to survive. However, the Ottoman Empire's game of thrones is different than any you have heard of, to survive it you need a son who will give you the power to upgrade from a concubine to a Sultana, and then it is the battle of survival, and making sure that son grows up and survive the cruelty of the world and the other sultanas. The other step is making sure that your son gets on the throne otherwise he will be executed by his own flesh and blood for fear of being overthrown. If your son becomes the sultan then it is your job to ensure that he rules fairly and with justice. However, the biggest mission of the Valide Sultan is to help her son get heirs, male heirs, and to ensure his bloodline by sending him concubines to bed and breed so he has as many heirs as possible who will be raised like sheep for slaughter like their father was before them but survived and became the strongest lion and in the end, only one Sehzade can ascend the throne and the bloody game starts all over again. This idea came to me after watching the famous show "Magnificent Century". The plotline will be changed in the future so my characters get the ending I want for them to have.
