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!

After enduring 99 executions for a crime she didn’t commit, Alphina claimed victory in her 100th loop by finally striking back at the evil Saint who set her up. Presumed dead, our heroine leaves the empire behind to start a quiet new life in a forest. However, it isn’t long before her former fiancé, the coldhearted Prince Lionett, shows up on her doorstep a bloody mess. From this encounter, Alphina learns that the prince still loves her dearly—and that the Saint has escaped from prison and fled to an enemy kingdom! Could a world war be looming on the horizon?

The Lione Empire and the Heavenrose Kingdom are on the brink of war, and there’s only one way to stop it: recapturing the sower of discord, Saint Debonaire! This mission brings Alphina to the capital of Heavenrose, where the Saint has taken refuge. There, she makes contact with an underground insurgent organization called Mordeus Scythe—and it turns out their leader is her former fiancé’s right-hand man and the empire’s most brilliant mind, Kithling! Having secured a face-to-face meeting with the Saint, Alphina recruits Kithling and her beloved little brother, Carl, for the final showdown!

A year has passed since the final showdown with Saint Debonaire. After shaking off her suitors and making the most of her freedom by traveling the world, Alphina decides it’s time to settle down and make sure her beloved brother, Carl, is fitting in at school—which means infiltrating the academy as a teacher! Among her new batch of students is Hipper, a young boy with a grudge against House Sylvana and a bone to pick with Carl. Alphina sets out to mend this rift, but a wrench is thrown into the works when her former fiancé, Prince Lionett, and his aide, Kithling, show up to perform an audit! Can she find a way to resolve the boys’ conflict, or will she blow her cover first?

When Alphina takes up the mantle of teacher, she relies on her charming, enthusiastic coworker, Bayard, to teach her the ropes. That is, until he reveals himself as a zealot who seeks to revive her greatest nemesis, the wicked Saint Debonaire! Misled by his lies, young student Hipper is tricked into being the sacrifice for the Saint’s resurrection. Alphina’s beloved little brother, Carl, rushes to Bayard’s hideout to rescue his fellow classmate, only to end up in the enemy’s clutches himself. With two lives now hanging in the balance, can Alphina track the boys down in time to save the day?!
