This time, she vows to live a long, peaceful, and carefree existence, using all the diverse skills and knowledge she's accumulated.

However, fate takes an unexpected turn when, immediately after her seventh annulment, the very Prince Arnold who caused her demise in previous timelines unexpectedly proposes marriage! Now, Rishe finds herself in the enemy nation, married to the man she fears most, trying to navigate political intrigue and change a seemingly unavoidable future.
