Tales of Cherry Blossoms and Snow in the Twilight of the Shogunate

This is the story of the heroine in a certain long novel, set in her previous life, before the events of that novel. Is the heroine still a Mary Sue...? Does this even count as a Mary Sue story? = = Never mind, that's not important. This 6,000-character short story is complete. If you'd like to read bonus chapters about Okita, Hijikata, or Kenshin, please leave a comment... But does anyone really read niche stories like this, with hardly any romance? Why do I always write niche stuff... P.S. Kenshin is from Rurouni Kenshin. The personalities of Okita, Hijikata, and Kondo are based on Gintama, Hakuoki, and some historical accounts. P.P.S. I recommend looking up Hijikata's history. He gave more than anyone else for the Shinsengumi, yet in the end he was shot in the back by one of his own comrades (one theory about Hijikata's death). It's just... sigh... Theme:
