   I like it. Synopsis: Our main character is Rheatt, the beautiful, but otherwise meh, noblewoman sold off to a negligent husband in a political marriage arranged by her crappy (but not traumatically abusive) family. The husband largely ignores her, and she is thrilled to death with her newfound freedom. But, just as she starts gaining her legs and figuring out who she is for the first time in her life, everything hits the fan about a month into her new situation. Her husband has been plotting an insurrection, and she gets slaughtered for treason-by-association when his coup is discovered and fails, In her dying moments, she begs to live, and a god answers. He will take half of her life-allotted years in exchange for turning back time to her 20th birthday. Every time she dies before her natural end, he will take half of what was left to rewind time again. So, she was going to have 20 more years, but died again. Then 10, then 5, then 2.5 and now she stuck with 1 year and a handful of months. But she has finally managed to pull it off: she has killed her husband with enough evidence that she escapes conviction and is even rewarded for it. She is awarded her late husband’s estates, the title of Count, and declared the representative of her crappy birth family line. Suddenly, she has all this freedom, money, status, zero worries, and a deadline of about a year left to live. She decides to hold auditions for a husband to make her final year enjoyable.

   Likes: She has actually been affected by her multiple lives/deaths, which shows up in her character and personality. She gives zero effs at this point and there is nothing anyone can do to her. There is also another character who is vaguely aware she isn’t fully natural at this point.
   Cons: We’ve been around the block and can tell how this rodeo is going to end up. But we can hope the ride is a fun one!

   The art is excellent. It kinda reminds me of eternal lies
