ML is Emperor or King

The ML is the Emperor, or is the king (or equivalent title) of his kingdom, at some point in the drama. Sometimes it's relatively brief.

In dramas where the ML lives multiple lives, or is an immortal who spends time in the mortal realm, he usually is only Emperor in one of those lives / realms.
