The Story: I saw the 7th Time Loop manga somewhere, and the concept sounded really good, but I decided to pick up the light novel first, just because at that point, I was reading more books then manga, and I just devoured them, and then the manga, and the fan translation of the show, and I can't wait for more by Touko Amekawa!

From Goodreads:
Every time Rishe turns twenty, she dies and is reincarnated to the day she gets dumped. She has been a merchant, an apothecary, and even a maid. For her seventh life, she has one goal: to live a long and lazy life. But then she gets a marriage proposal from the Crown Prince -- the man who killed her in her previous life as a knight. Despite her determination to avoid drama, here she goes again!

Every time Rishe turns twenty, she dies and is reincarnated to the day her engagement is broken off. This time around, she winds up the fiancee of the man who killed her in her previous life: the crown prince of the Galkhein Empire, Arnold! Knowing from her past lives that Galkhein is on the path to war, Rishe is determined to prevent it. She starts by turning the royal villa into a training ground... for handmaidens! Will her unorthodox plans be enough to keep disaster at bay?

Rishe's attempt to make a deal with her benefactor from a previous life, Kaine Tully, has backfired, and now she's forced to come up with a new plan. Determined to secure the Aria Trading Company's connections and resources though, Rishe rolls up her sleeves and gets to work. Her mission? Convince Tully of her value as a trading partner by establishing a business of her very own! Yet just when things seem to be looking up for her, she's kidnapped and brought to the slums! Who exactly is behind her abduction and what do they want?

DUELING SWORDS AND DUELING HEARTS

After her confrontation with Prince Theodore in the slums, Rishe was finally able to end the feud between him and his brother Arnold. Most people would take a break after an ordeal like that, but Rishe is not most people! So when they return to the castle and Arnold offers her any gift she’d like, it’s not jewelry or trinkets she asks for, but a duel! Later on, another ghost from Rishe’s past arrives in Galkhein. This time it’s the prince of a neighboring country who claims he’s there to congratulate Rishe and Arnold on their engagement. However, Rishe can’t shake the feeling there’s more to his visit than meets the eye…

However, Rishe can’t shake the feeling there’s more to his visit than meets the eye…

UNLIMITED POTENTIAL

Now that Coyolles has exposed their weakness and left themselves at Galkhein's mercy, Rishe walks a dangerously thin line as she prepares to make her case for an alliance between the two nations. Will her negotiations with Arnold be enough to save Coyolles from disaster? Meanwhile, her alchemy teacher from a previous life, Michel Hevin, is convinced no good can come from his latest experiment, gunpowder. Determined to keep this destructive power out of the hands of her fiance, Rishe will once again need to get creative and show her friend the non-lethal potential of the explosive "poison" he's created.

From Goodreads:
BLESSINGS AND CURSES

Thanks to Rishe's planning and quick wits, an alliance between Galkhein and Coyolles has been successfully forged! With one crisis averted, Rishe turns her attention to the next--namely, annulling her engagement so she and Arnold can be married. To accomplish this, Rishe travels to the Grand Basilica in the Holy Kingdom of Domana and reunites with Millia, the young woman she served during her life as a maid. However, something has changed about her former charge, and whispers of death and curses linger in the air. Does this latest reunion spell disaster for Rishe and Arnold?

From Goodreads:
Seventh Time's the Charm!

Being reborn once may sound impressive, but Rishe is already on her seventh time around! She has had all kinds of excitement in her previous lives, from peddling goods as a merchant to locking blades as a knight, so now she's determined to kick back and enjoy. But to savor the high life, she first has to marry the handsome prince...the same one who happens to be her murderer! It will take six-plus lifetimes of experience and skills for Rishe to break the time loop and make her extravagant dreams come true!

RENDEZVOUS, RENDEZVOUSIn order to learn how Arnold might rise to power, Rishe disguises herself as a man and leads a double life as a trainee knight! Despite her deception, she grows closer to her fiance during a secret sojourn to the city. But when a former patient from her life as an apothecary comes begging for help in saving his nation, will Rishe stand by Arnold's refusal to end his aid, dooming the country to devastation?

A STAINED-GLASS MYSTERY!

Galkhein has officially forged an alliance with Coyolles, and Arnold and Rishe are closer than ever. During a visit to the Grand Cathedral of Domana, which Arnold burns to ash in the future, they bump into the young lady Rishe served as a maid. But this happy reunion soon takes a turn for the strange, with curses, warnings, and grudges aplenty! As Arnold's hatred of the church comes to a head, another piece of the handsome prince's mysterious past falls into place…

LADIES FIRST! After the fracas with the church, Rishe's feelings toward Arnold are starting to change. Thanks to a chance encounter with a would-be villainess she knew in another life, Rishe winds up crossdressing to be her guard! Playing the part of a dashing prince, Rishe makes all the girls swoon... But when ghostly rumors prompt Arnold to shack up with Rishe for protection, will the power couple enter the throes of passion or end up throwing down?!

WHEN OLD FLAMES ATTACK! Now that Rishe has resolved the counterfeiting scheme and renewed her vows to Arnold, the couple is all set for their wedding. The two slip away to attend an opera, only for the prima donna to collapse at the start! Later, the distressed diva gushes to Rishe about her knightly paramour, who happens to be a key figure in future-Arnold's plans. Could it be more than coincidence? And why is Rishe's former fiance here, sticking his nose in her business?!

MARITIME MARITAL MAYHEM! Rishe has been utterly restless since her heart-pounding kiss with Arnold, but she hardly has time for distractions. Under the pretense of procuring her wedding dress, the two visit a bustling port town--only to witness a kidnapping by pirates! Then a familiar figure from Rishe's past resurfaces, looking to dispatch the pirate menace. If Rishe wants to help take down the marauders and prevent Arnold from gaining a valuable war weapon, she'll have to reinvent herself as pirate bait... But what's this about Arnold role-playing as her servant for the job?!

"Rishe descended the gently sloping stone steps before the vast ocean. The seventh-moon shone clear and vibrant, bathing the seaside town in glitter light. Its rays seemed to reflect off buildings painted pure white, contrasting with the azure sky. A soft sea breeze blew through the streets, fluttering the light mint-green dress Rishe wore."-7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! Vol. 4 by Touko Amekawa
