Promotional Manhwa for the novel.
 
I now possess the body of Ophelia, the villainess in the story 'The Crown Prince Returns'. And just like the protagonists in the other reincarnated novels, I thought I would fare well. I died by getting guillotined the first time, the second time was getting my limbs torn apart, third was suicide by poison, and by the fourth time, I was struck with arrows atop the throne. And by the fifth restart, even if I tried to stray from the original storyline, I would still be doomed to die. "Concoct a poison for me. Not one that’s painful, but one that’ll kill me slowly." Therefore, this time, with all my heart and soul, I wished to die properly for once. "After I ascend the throne, are you leaving me behind?" "I sincerely hope that her highness survives, no matter what." "Your Highness, I wish to get to know you better." All these people surrounding aren't letting me die off easily!

By the time Princess Ophelia Lidania's fourth death rolls around, she's gotten pretty sick of dying painfully. However, she seems unable to avoid her fate of being killed by her half-brother Ewout Lidania. She's tried being nice to him, locking him up, and having him killed, but it always ends the same way. So, her goal for her fifth life is to just die painlessly. To this end, she hires the elite assassin Nau to stay by her side. But will this be enough to overturn her fate and bring her peace?
