Daughter of the Empire is the untold story of Zehra Dilruba Sultan, the youngest and most beloved daughter of Sultan Selim I and Ayşe Hafsa Sultan. Born into the heart of the Ottoman dynasty, she is not just a princess but a force of nature-respected by sultans, feared by viziers, and adored by the people.
Unlike her siblings, Zehra refuses to be blinded by court rivalries. She chooses wisdom over blind loyalty, justice over vengeance. From the moment Hürrem Sultan steps into Topkapi, Zehra becomes her silent pillar, but never her puppet. She stands for what is right, even if it means standing alone. As the empire trembles under the weight of ambition, betrayal, and bloodshed, Zehra carves her own path-one that will shape the destiny of the women who follow in her footsteps.
Her journey is one of power, love, sacrifice, and the unyielding strength of a woman who was more than a princess-she was the empire's beating heart.
In a world of sultans and shahzades, she was the one they all turned to. She was the one they all feared losing.
The flames consumed her-body and soul. Betrayed by the man who swore to love her and the friend who pretended to kneel at her feet, Tang Min died with a heart full of venom and eyes burning with unspent vengeance.
But fate is a cruel and whimsical thing.
It gave her death.
And then-it gave her revenge.
Reborn from the ashes of her past life, Tang Min returns with a smile sharper than any blade. The world that once discarded her will now tremble at her feet. She plays the game of thrones with a serpent's grace, turning her enemies' schemes against them, watching as they unravel in the very traps they set for her.
And then-he appears.
A prince wrapped in shadows, a wolf hiding in silk. The world sees a nobleman of quiet restraint, but Tang Min recognizes the hunger in his gaze-the same fire that burns in her. He wants power. He wants the throne.
But most of all... he wants her.
And for her? He would conquer kingdoms.
Together, they are a storm the world cannot withstand.
This is not a story of forgiveness.
This is a story of fire.
And the world will burn.
