#Ongoing historical romance: The Crown Prince Has a Hard Time Raising His Wife. Check it out in my profile~#

Blurb:

He Ye was a shrine maiden of the Genji clan, though that was a thousand years ago. After that, she became a young lady of the Oda clan, then the Shinsengumi's mascot, and finally the little princess of the Sanada clan.

She should have been living the life of a winner, but! Why does she have to die over and over again?! Don't shrine maidens have rights?

After being reborn over and over, dying so many times, and suffering such gruesome deaths, her memories seem to have gotten a little mixed up. Do I know these sword boys?

Really, all He Ye wants is to find a safe place and live a peaceful life. Why is that so difficult?

He Ye (confused): What are you… doing?

The swords (biting their little handkerchiefs): Our poor lord is so pitiful! Come with us! We'll feed you, house you, and wait on you hand and foot. We'll lead you to the peak of life!

He Ye: …(Big bro! There's a pervert!!!)

[Reader's Guide]

1. A crossover. There may be alterations and headcanon. If anyone acts OOC, please go easy on me (bows!)

2. I'm committed to a happy ending, with a healing romance style. The male lead is Higekiri! (Erm, it's just not very obvious.)

3. There's little continuity between the third volume and the others, so it's more like a bonus story.

4. This is my first story, so please bear with me if the writing isn't great.

2022 PS: Since I worked on this story over quite a long period, you may notice clear changes in the writing style (covers face), including the prose, formatting, and atmosphere, among other things. I set Chapter 25 as the start of the premium section because I feel the writing had already improved quite a bit by then compared to the first few chapters. Thanks for your understanding~ (covers face again)

Ongoing historical romance: The Crown Prince Has a Hard Time Raising His Wife

Blurb:

[A clueless princess with gender identity confusion vs. a sickly crown prince who disguises himself as a woman and is deeply calculating]

Everyone knows that the Crown Prince of Yi is a sickly invalid, and a disfigured one at that.

With an unappealing face and a sickly disposition, he accomplishes nothing and is always overlooked and ostracized.

But that's okay! Someone doesn't mind!

The Princess of Changling from the Marquis of Annan's household proclaims to the world that she loves the Crown Prince and will marry no one else.

Your Majesty, stop worrying about my marriage! Of all your sons, this sickly crown prince is the one I like best!

The emperor nearly faints.

Her father furrows his brows.

Only her younger brother smiles calmly: Keep pretending. Go on.

*

The princess has a secret she hasn't told anyone:

After arriving in the capital, she met a beautiful, frail young lady and fell in love with her over time.

But with the emperor keeping a close eye on her family, it's hard for her to return to her original male identity. Yet if she doesn't reclaim her identity, how can she marry the one she loves?

If you're going to do it, do it all the way. Hurry up and get the next emperor on the throne.

Your Highness, Crown Prince, don't let me down!

*

The new emperor, once the crown prince, smiles mysteriously. He has a secret too:

His childhood betrothed didn't recognize him when they met, which would have been bad enough, but she also keeps trying to marry him.

Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? Well, now it's my turn, and that's just as good.
