"Eager to face her new life, she has only one thing left to do to break free of her old—call off her engagement with the popular and beloved Count Claus! Little does she know the saintly gentleman she's supposed to marry is secretly a blackhearted schemer, and he has other plans. In fact, he's so madly in love with her, he'll use any means necessary to stay by her side and assist her!"

The original Light Novel was described by J-Novel Club as follows:

"Falsely accused of plotting to assassinate the Saint, Lady Alphina finds her engagement to the frigid prince called off and her head under the guillotine. Time rewinds upon her death, but despite all efforts to stave off her fate, she faces the same end 99 times over.

"Just when all hope seems lost, she awakens a new power during her 100th loop. She can now hear the thoughts of those around her, and it turns out her accusers were a lot more enamored of her than she thought! Can she use this newfound ability to turn her fortunes around? The 100th Time's the Charm!"
