This paper deals with the others consciousness of princesses married to men of ordinary family and their survival strife to be born again from others to members of the family as shown in <Doaenghaeng> and <Chuimisamseonnog>. The survival pattern of princesses is divided into the life before marriage, the marriage process and the life in husbands' house. In <Doaenghaeng>, the father-in-law Judang thinks of Yeongpyeong as an other who disturbs the group consciousness and the order of his house during the marriage process. To hide this uneasy state of mind, he strengthens the internal tie more and rejects the princess. In <Chuimisamseonnog>, the husband Yangsong thinks of Muyang as the object of aspiration and hospitality to satisfy his desire of status elevation. Meanwhile, in <Doaenghaeng>, Yeongpyeong recognizes her husband's family as "those who are captured by a vain pride of fame". And in <Chuimisamseonnog>, Muyang sees her husband's house as "a wicked and heartless place". Up to now, the others consciousness of married princess toward husbands' family has been discussed. Husbands' houses where the princesses came to dwell were the places ruled by patriarch ideology. In there, the position and the privileges of royal princesses became a great hindrance in adjusting themselves to and settling into husbands' house. The princesses could not adjust themselves to the spaces that were totally different from their sense of values. Therefore, they either deviated to remain forever as others or lowered their sight level and changed themselves to be born again as subjects. Meanwhile, the husbands' families looked the princesses as the objects of rejection and hospitality, behind which there were the crisis consciousness and the sense of inferiority. Through the lives of married princesses in <Doaenghaeng> and <Chuimisamseonnog>, we can see the attitude of husbands' family toward the princesses the superior others and their survival ways.
