A Night Raid Dresses as a Woman in the Colorcloud Kingdom

[Coming soon: After Becoming a Tomie Fan, I Found Out There Were More Tomies] Blurb One The first time I met Rishin was when we were betrothed. As children, we were both the protagonists and the supporting cast. We talked in the courtyard, when, to my surprise, he saw through my disguise and realized I wasn't really a girl. I asked if he wanted to break off the engagement. Rishin said it would be a hassle, since they'd have to arrange another fiancée afterward. We got along like that. He had a bad temper and was always giving people a hard time, but he couldn't do that to me. I was good at fighting. I was a Yato. I once snuck off to watch the sunrise, and once he clumsily wrapped me in bandages to keep me from getting sunburned, nearly strangling me in the process. Overall, our relationship was fairly harmonious. Still, I thought our engagement would eventually be called off, but it wasn't. We actually followed the usual procedure and got engaged, and seeing how awkward Rishin looked left me dumbfounded. Then things got even more bizarre: Rishin became pregnant. Just as incredulous as I was, Rishin grabbed me by the collar and asked what I really was. I was innocent. I really was just a Yato. There was nothing special about me. Blurb Two Rishin had never imagined he'd have a fiancée who was a boy in disguise. When they first met, he had immediately seen through it. Even though Kyuro had said Haruya was beautiful, Rishin just knew Haruya was a boy. He hadn't expected the Lin family to be bold enough to send him a cross-dressing fiancée, but that was fine. It saved Rishin a lot of trouble. Lin Qingye was a strange person. Cross-dressing was strange enough, but he also had an enormous appetite and incredible strength. He couldn't stand the sun, either. All in all, he was a troublesome fiancée. When Rishin complained about him to Kyuro, he got this reply: "How can you say that about Big Sister Qingye? She's so much better than you." Rishin wanted to say that Qingye wasn't a big sister. He was a man. Hadn't Kyuro noticed? Lin Qingye was already as tall as him. And lately, the guy kept vanishing without a trace. Was Lin Qingye trying to quit? That couldn't be. They worked so well together. There was no way Lin Qingye would choose anyone but him. Rishin firmly believed this. "I want to visit other planets." "I even came face to face with a giant who fights monsters." "The Yato belong in space." When Rishin heard Lin Qingye say that, he was completely dumbfounded. Was he going to run away?!

Coming soon: "I'm a Dandy in Saiunkoku" Blurb: Some say that hard work always pays off. I proved with my actions that it's true. I'm a famous dandy in the royal city of Zi Province, Saiunkoku, devoted to food, drink, and fun. Dandies love to compete with each other, and I'm certainly no exception. I grew the biggest vegetables and fruits in all of Saiunkoku. The snowmen I built were works of art. Officials kept pestering me to update my comic. I'm an average musician, but I make up for it with the sheer number of instruments I play. My book, "Farming Diary," is the bestselling book of the age. My kites are beautifully made. I can also ski, swim, and race boats. I think I'm the most exemplary dandy around. Even the Eight Immortals of Saiunkoku would praise me. To be honest, I never planned on becoming a dandy. It was the nightmare national exam group from over a decade ago that gave me guidance and made me realize I didn't need to strive for success. The nightmare national exam group after reading "A Day in the Life of a Dandy" (the author's final confession): What the heck? Is he making this up? Lu Qingya: I hate the nightmare national exam group. They ruined my childhood friend's future! As a dandy, I got a livestreaming System and brought the people watching my stream along to see more of Saiunkoku's sights. I'm honored to be a citizen of Saiunkoku. But I have one condition. Give me more fun, or I'll stop streaming. The viewers kept their promise and gave me plenty of fun. I also learned many more secrets to enjoying life. The Little Chef taught me to cook, Mr. Gintoki taught me to live freely, the Yato taught me that a smile can represent murderous intent, and the White Dragon taught me... They were so generous. Thanks to them, everything from my health and appearance to my food, clothing, housing, and transportation improved. [The cover is a selfie I took at Lake Canghu in Lan Province. Whether it's the hot springs and monkeys in Hong Province, the pandas, lakes, and shrines in Lan Province, or Bih Province... I can take you to see it all. Come visit Saiunkoku! Contact me: Huangdong District, Royal City of Zi Province, Saiunkoku xxxxx!] Blurb Two Wan Xiusheng was a famous dandy in Zi Province, involved in all kinds of food, drink, and fun. From childhood onward, he was the center of attention among the noble children. He was good-looking and clever, always coming up with unusual ideas and organizing all sorts of fun-sounding contests. He knew many people: his childhood friend Qingya, the Minister of Works, the Minister of the Treasury, the Minister of Justice, a Vice Minister of Personnel, the Lan family patriarch... Many people thought that once Wan Xiusheng grew up, he would become an official with their help. In reality, he kept pursuing his own amusements, and loved every minute of it. He wrote all kinds of books and created plenty of new foods. He even improved his techniques for growing fruits and vegetables. Seeing all this, no one dared call it mere play anymore. He was clearly benefiting everyone. After reading "A Day in the Life of a Dandy" (the author's confession), they all thanked the members of the nightmare national exam group from back then. Without them, how could such an amazing person have come along? The nightmare national exam group's reactions: Chief Secretary Yushun: "As long as it worked out in the end." Minister of Personnel Rishin: "I only said he was stupid back then." Minister of the Treasury Qiren: "..." Minister of Works: "I don't think I did much, but I'm grateful to him. He helped increase the grain yield, so I can brew more wine." Minister of Justice: "I've always had his coffin and funeral prepared." Governor of Lan Province: "He's pretty gutsy. He's not afraid of me." Governor of Hong Province: "Come visit Hong Province." Theme: Grow through hardship. The more positive you are, the luckier you become.
