The Villainess Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (hostage) in a Former Enemy Country Novel

When her seventh engagement crumbles, Rishe Ilmgard Wertsner finally claims what she's always wanted—a life of unambitious leisure. Her six past incarnations demanded relentless dedication as a skilled pharmacist and decorated knight, ultimately ending in death at twenty. Reincarnation has taught her the value of simplicity: peaceful idleness and comfortable indulgence, without striving or burden.

Yet destiny refuses to cooperate. Her seventh marriage binds her to the Crown Prince of a formidable military nation—the very kingdom that killed her in a former lifetime. Determined to pursue tranquility regardless of political allegiances, Rishe arrives at the castle with singular purpose: to enjoy a carefree existence behind its walls.

That resolve collapses almost instantly. The cultivation of abilities across her lifetimes emerges unbidden—the tactical brilliance of a knight, the expertise of a pharmacist—captivating everyone in her path. Despite her earnest attempts at obscurity, her exceptional talents shine unmistakably through the castle. What began as her quietest, most deliberate seventh life transforms into something unexpectedly magnificent. As the celebrated Crown Princess in a former enemy country, standing beside the man who once ended her, Rishe discovers that laziness and anonymity prove far more elusive than any ambition she previously pursued.
