The Villainess Who Has Been Killed 108 Times: She Remembers Everything! (Manga) Vol. 1

In this fantasy "time loop" comedy, a villainess tries to change her future and break the curse of dying young!

Scarlet Ruby Noel Hydrangea has died 108 times. Born the daughter of a duke, she later seized the throne of the Hydrangea Kingdom and imposed a reign of absolute terror upon its citizens. However, she always met a brutal end at the hands of the five heroes destined to take her down. On her 109th loop, she regains the memories of her previous lives. Scarlet decides to use this knowledge to escape this cycle of disaster. But though she might have all the memories and knowledge of her previous lives, for now Scarlet is stuck as an infant. If she’s to survive, Scarlet must depend on former foes to aid her—the same heroes who killed her before!
