The Prince Insists on Marrying into Another Kingdom

When Zhao Guannan was held hostage in Southern Chu while disguised as a man, she once saved a delicate little princess. The princess was so beautiful that Zhao Guannan's desire to protect her flared up in an instant. She even decided to marry the princess at any cost, so she could keep her safe by her side.

She has to marry the princess, but she also has to save other young women. What can she do? She's supposed to be a debonair playboy, after all. It isn't until Chu Tao pulls her into an embrace and kisses her forcefully that Zhao Guannan suddenly realizes the delicate little princess has somehow grown taller than she is!

Wait! Things aren't at all how she imagined! Can someone tell her what that increasingly hard thing is that she's just accidentally touched beneath the little princess's skirt?! What happened to her adorable little sister?!

Only later does Zhao Guannan learn that the "delicate" in "delicate princess" actually means "delicate psychopath." How is she supposed to prove her love to a yandere? By patiently reasoning with her and offering kind advice... or by learning her tricks and using them against her?

"Big Sister, don't even think about abandoning me after having your way with me. Anyone who breaks a promise deserves to be locked away in a dark room..."

"The Emperor of Chu came to Jin alone. Did you really think you wouldn't end up trapped here, chained to my bed?"

"I didn't think of that, but Big Sister, could you make the chain a little shorter?"

The new emperor of Southern Chu has wanted to arrange a marriage alliance with Western Jin for a long time. He has neither granted a marriage to an eligible imperial relative nor appointed a virtuous minister's daughter, yet his ministers still object.

"Your Majesty, please think twice! This must not be done!"

Chu Tao speaks amiably. "Didn't you say before that a marriage alliance would benefit the country and its people? Why are you opposing it now?"

Why do all his ministers look like they're in mourning, so reluctant and unhappy? Chu Tao can't understand. He hasn't done anything. He's merely decided to go on the marriage alliance himself.

The old ministers below the throne are ready to bang their heads on the floor. Their lips twitch, but they don't know how to argue back. They have never heard of a ruler personally going to another country to marry into its royal family!

Watching as yet another of his ministers faints, Chu Tao sits high on the dragon throne and checks his dowry again. Never mind. The ministers can object all they like, but he is going to make this marriage alliance. After all, he's wanted to do this for a very long time, ever since he was... still a princess.

A black-hearted, guiding-type heroine x a crybaby, green-tea yandere hero.

Reader's Guide:

1. The male lead is reborn and has basically no golden finger.

2. Both leads hide their genders: a woman disguised as a man x a man disguised as a woman. Their identities are revealed fairly quickly.

3. The male lead is a green-tea type early on and a yandere later. The female lead is unconventional from start to finish and loves pulling all sorts of outrageous stunts.

What does a little author with no rankings, no motivation to write, and no pressure do when she wants to slack off?

Answer: Come up with a bunch of parallel-world bonus stories for the leads. There were too many ideas, so I started a new novel. It's still Nan and Tao, in a new world with new adventures. If you're interested, please add it to your collection~

The week after she says they should divorce, Chu Yaohui is knocked unconscious in a sudden car accident.

Zhao Guannan gets dragooned into his consciousness to wake him up. She's shocked, frowns, shakes her head, and frantically refuses. Why is every version of Chu Yaohui in here a mix of seductive, green-tea, jealous, tearful, and scheming? He's a yandere with all five poisons in one!

At this wrong moment, Zhao Guannan makes an even more mistaken discovery. Only now does she realize that Xiao Tao likes her too.

But it's already too late. Chu Yaohui uses being "abandoned" as an excuse to do whatever he wants, and never again agrees to return to the cage called self-restraint.

"You're the one who tried to run away first, Big Sister. You can't blame me..."

"Big Sister, I hate that you're so dense..."

Huh? Why is he crying now? Zhao Guannan is the one trapped in his mind, yet Chu Yaohui lowers his lashes and droops his eyes, pretending to be good. How can she think about anything else? All she can do is worry about whether the love confession has gone according to plan, and whether messing it up will make him cry again.

[World One: Knowing She's Being Wooed, but Secretly Letting Him Get Away with It]: A dark male lead who thinks he's a virtual character and can't break through the fourth wall

The thousand-layered strategy to win over the target begins with creating a tenacious little white-flower persona that inspires sympathy, then arranging a chance for the target to play the hero and save the beauty... Chu Yaohui had planned everything, but he forgot that Big Sister doesn't belong here. She could leave his world at any time and never come back!

No! He won't allow it! Since she came, she has to stay with him for the rest of her life!

"Scared? That makes me very sad."

Wait, why are you sad? She's the one who just discovered how bizarre this world is! Before Zhao Guannan opened the door, she wasn't prepared to find her own photos covering every wall...

[World Two: The Demon King Is Actually Super Cute!]: A soft, clingy little octopus, come here and take a bite

So, Chu Yaohui is the last Demon King of our deep sea, right? He's been a Demon King for so many years, but this time he might really be done for.

Why? Because the human continent has offered up a rather delicious apprentice hero. Even the well-traveled Demon King of the deep sea has never met a super-sweet hero from the highlands, made extra sweet by the huge temperature difference between day and night.

So sweet, so sweet! On the Demon King's first trip ashore, he sucked so hard he almost lost control of all five tentacles. This hero is so damn sweet! Why... is he so sweet?!

The Demon King, all flustered after getting carried away sucking, shyly raises his tentacles to propose. "Big Sister, you can bite them..."

"You can't just stick your tentacles in other people's mouths!"

[World Three: Give the Incubus a Taste of the Shock of Chinese Cuisine!]

A disciplined incubus instructor who eats nothing but bland Western food x an Eastern warlock who knows how to cook... meat

Zhao Guannan is a special kind of incubus.

She was born in JJ, where restrictions are strict and reviews are relentless. It's a place full of censored fiction, with stories and passages locked away until they're shattered. As a proper JJ incubus, Zhao Guannan is naturally different from the others. She can't stomach human meat, and she doesn't like the meaty smell of lust.

So the disciplined incubus eats bland, vegetarian Western food at every meal. Just when she thinks she'll never taste meat in her life, she meets Chu Yaohui, disguised as a woman and infiltrating a witches' academy. Zhao Guannan initially has no thoughts about this handsome student, who could make it onto an incubus's must-eat list, but she is forced to discover his food-like form: an aromatic, strong liquor, combined with his Eastern bloodline...

"Big Sister, don't you know that fine wine is perfect for braising meat?"

The aroma of the delicious Eastern meat dish makes the incubus dizzy. At last, she sees the error of her ways, indulges in lust without the slightest hint of a fishy taste, and eats until she's stuffed.
