Summary
Growing up, Nara learned that life was a series of sharp, pungent flavors that simply required a larger spoonful of rice to swallow. Peppers were strong, but you could get through them; broccoli was bitter, but it went down if you mixed it with enough meat. Even the most foul medicine wasn't so bad if you drowned it in honey. She became an expert at the positive spin, the master of finding a different angle to make the distasteful parts of her existence pleasant.
In the Dirgata household, the "distasteful thing" was often the shadow of her twin brother, Rendra. He was the "Superboy," the golden child who moved through life with an ease that made Nara feel like the "Invisible Girl". She watched her parents pour their pride and attention into him, and she learned to force herself to be content with the leftovers. Her parents might favor Rendra more, she told herself, but at least they still loved her—even if the amounts were never equal. She spent her life diluting the bitterness of being second-best, convincing herself that having a fraction of what she wanted was the same as being satisfied.
But then she met Larasati Suryaharitala, and for the first time, the "positive spin" failed her.

Summary
For as long as she could remember, Laras had never really wanted anything. At least not strongly. Not enough to warrant dissatisfaction. It was only human to want things. Perhaps the correct word to use is desire. Laras had never desired anything. She always thought it was because she had an easy life where everything she ever needed was handed to her on a silver plate and she never really felt the need to ask for things, but her brothers, who were raised under the same roof as her, eat the same food, and come from the same womb, do desire things.
She remembered Juna throwing a tantrum because their dad wouldn't buy him a video game. She remembered Mas Dewa slamming the door in anger because their mom wouldn't let him hang out with his friends. Laras had never reacted that way to not getting what she wanted.
And Laras was certain that it was not because she already has the best of everything, many people have more than her, but simply because acquisition or possession is not important to her. She was content. She accepted what she has or doesn't.
It wasn't a problem, per se.

Summary
After eight years of reigning as the "God of Racing," Symboli Rudolf stuns the world by vanishing at the peak of her power, trading her imperial throne for the honest grit of a struggling dairy farm. She returns to the only woman she ever loved, the fierce and protective Sirius Symboli, to finally embrace her role as a mother to their spirited daughter, Tokai Teio. Together, they transform their rural estate into the Symboli Rural Training Center, a sanctuary for "misfit" racers. In the face of a predatory URA and the elite Mejiro dynasty, Rudolf must prove that the "Emperor" is more than a title; she is the Alpha of a pack forged in the mud, sweat, and love of the valley.

Summary
Her earliest memories weren't of sun-drenched turf or the roar of a crowd. They were of the sterile gleam of surgical lights and the hushed, worried whispers of doctors. Before she ever felt the wind in her hair, she knew the sting of needles and the dull, systemic ache of a body that seemed determined to give up.

Summary
“It makes me feel like a princess,” she admitted. “Just like in the stories. A fair maiden locked away in a far-off turret. Knowing that any strapping young knights wanting to court me will have to earn their way past the fierce, jealous dragon who guards my door. It’s quite comforting.”
Rhaenyra grinned sleepily. “A princess in a what now?”
Incredible. She could actually hear Alicent rolling her eyes. “In a high tower, yes, you’re very clever, Rhaenyra. Gods, why do I talk to you.”
