Synopsis

Six deaths in and Rishe Irmgard Weitzner is running out of patience. Each life starts the same way: her fiancé dumps her publicly, her family cuts her off, and she's left to fend for herself. Over those six lives she's been a merchant, a knight, an herbalist, and more, picking up a ridiculous range of skills along the way. The problem is that every single time, a massive war breaks out and she dies before turning 21. So for loop number seven, the plan is simple: live a quiet, peaceful life and avoid anything that could get her killed. That plan lasts about five minutes, because Arnold Hein, the crown prince of a rival kingdom and the guy who literally killed her in a previous life, shows up and proposes marriage. Instead of running, Rishe accepts, figuring she can prevent the war from the inside. What follows is a 12-episode TV series that weaves court politics, slow-burn romance, and the fun of watching a heroine casually pull out skills from past lives to solve problems nobody expects her to handle. The dynamic between Rishe and Arnold carries the show, she knows what he's capable of, he can tell she's hiding something, and neither fully trusts the other yet. If you liked the villainess energy of My Next Life as a Villainess or the political maneuvering in I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss, this scratches a similar itch but leans harder into the mystery of why the loops keep happening. It's warm without being saccharine, and the pacing stays tight across all twelve episodes.

This anime was soooo cute and my GOD Prince Arnold is literally so hot. BUT I do feel that things could've gone differently... In the beginning, we're lead to believe Arnold is up to something. But that quickly disappears. Rishe also started out as very independent and strong in the beginning which I loved, but quickly became submissive and docile. I would've loved to see her stand up to Arnold more like how she did when they first met. Then the biggest thing for me probably was the whole storyline that Prince Arnold killed Rishe in her past life. Like. They TOTALLY could've incorporated that even more with a twist like Arnold ALSO having lived that past life and dying and being reincarnated into this new one with her currently and having that memory. THAT WOULD'VE BEEN SO COOL. SOOO much of this show ended up focusing on Rishe's duties at the castle - teaching the maids, bartering, being a student to an alchemist... It was all cozy to watch, but there was such a bigger plot that could've been focused on in my opinion. Still, I really enjoyed this show. A very sweet ending too.
