Third Loop: The Nameless Princess and the Cruel Emperor Volume 1
The Third Time’s The Charm!
Princess That never received an actual name and suffered many years of abuse.

What’s more, the imperial family’s guardian deity—the Golden Dragon—takes notice of her this time. Even the legendary, ultra fluffy Flame Tiger latches onto her! Despite being That’s older brother, the crown prince never showed any interest in her, yet in this loop, he dubs her an angel. Will her father—the infamously cold-blooded emperor—shower her with affection as well?! The nameless princess will fight with all her strength to survive and earn a name of her own!

A super cute story of a princess' fourth attempt at life. Each time she died, she got thrown back in time to redo her life. This is her third loop, and she starts out as a three year old.
The main character of this story is Princess That. Yes, That is what everyone calls her cause she doesn't have a name. Or rather, she has one but it won't be used until much later in the story. As the empress died giving birth to her, the emperor despises her up to the point of refusing to name her. He doesn't want to see her and even says he'll kill her if he ever does, so she's been banished to live in a dilapidated garden with only the bare minimum of retainers and security. Of course, it leads to a life of bullying and humiliation before she inevitably dies a tragic death. So as you can probably imagine, this is a story of abuse caused by grief and disinterest… but it's also an uplifting tale ofhow to brainwash people with cuteness That's journey to have a better life.
Oh, and also That's love for fluffy animals. Which is a mood.
While there are some historical and political backgrounds to the story, it's mostly about That changing everyone's opinions of her. Which may or may not be intentional. The majority of the book is That winning everyone over, including her brother and father who pretty much ignored her in her previous lives. To make it worse, they also become very serious cases of シスコン and 親バカ who are extremely overprotective of her but also listen to her every word. Since That is only three, this may not suit everyone's tastes so do take that into consideration before you pick up this book. If you want a lighthearted story that doesn't require much thinking, however, this is a pretty good option.
The story feels like it's self-contained in this one volume, but apparently there are more books coming out. I wonder how they're going to do the title from here, because she does receive a name by the end of this one.

4.5/5
🚨TW: parents’ abandonment neglect, loss of love one, depressed, mentions of being mistreated
This story is just so cute and also quite sad too because she had been mistreated in her past life and died young but miraculously she came back to life again and it is her fourth life being abandoned by the Emperor because he blamed her for the death of his beloved Empress. So, a young 3 year old in her fourth life, trying her best to find ways to survive and because she had learned how to read a little during her past life she is considered as a genius and also matured for her age. What is different from her past life is that she managed to safe a cat who is actually a Flame Tiger from a trap set by the chief-in-waiting who had been abusing her indirectly but she was protected by her servants eventhough they can't do much other than checking the foods and things that the chief-in-waiting gave her. (can't spoil much) The Flame Tiger vow to protect her from anybody who tries to harm her and also she managed to get the Golden dragon's approval too.
And everything was well that she was found by the Crown Prince which is her brother and her brother brought her to the palace and she was doted by him and lolz it is so funny when Flame Tiger and him were jealous of each other and even after that the Emperor also trying his best to be the best father as he can be to her (how did he found out and also suddenly accepted her find out by reading the book, can't spoil too much) Haha...
Can't wait to read the next book.

I like that this rebirth story emphasizes that people and events are not static, they change drastically with circumstances. The tragedies that occurred in her first three lives may not occur as result of her actions in this one. The people that were traitors may never cross that line because the Emperor changed in this timeline. They never felt pushed to depose him. That’s some thing that other light novels have ignored. They frequently have the villains as one dimensional characters that are bad no matter what, when in reality people are much more complicated and frequently are doing what they consider right.
