The Princess in the Henhouse, Volume 1

Sleeping Beauty...with chickens?! A comedic romantasy manhwa featuring a princess who's been cursed into the form of a chicken for 100 years on the search for the prince charming who can break her curse, and the romantically challenged emperor who becomes her love interest!

Princess Soria has been cursed to live in her dilapidated kingdom as a chicken for the last century. Her curse can only be broken through true love with her Prince Charming. Unfortunately, the only fitting candidate for her comes in the form of Emperor Lenok, who doesn’t know a thing about romance! He also needs her help to save his empire from a long-term drought, a problem that can only be solved by breaking her curse and restoring her kingdom. But how is a poultry princess supposed to fall for such an unattractive ruler?!
