Plot

At the collapsed Tearmoon Empire, 20 years old Princess Mia, who was scorned as the selfish princess, was executed through guillotine. Instead of dying, she awakens to find herself back in her 12 year old body. Pleading to avoid the execution at all cost, she decides to rebuild the empire. As such, she would "put her own safety first." Her supposedly selfish action, mixed with her knowledge from her first life, somehow charms the people around her instead as she works hard to turn her enemies in her first life to be her allies.

Characters
Mia Luna Tearmoon (ミーア・ルーナ・ティアムーン, Mīa Rūna Tiamūn)
Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka[2]
The protagonist of the series and the sole princess of Tearmoon Empire. At 20 years old, a revolution leads to her execution, but she somehow leaps back through time and wakes up a twelve-year-old. Thus, she begins to right what once went wrong and starts to fix the empire's problems while armed with a diary from the future. When it comes to saving her own skin, Mia spares no effort. Thanks to the strings of misunderstandings encircling her and her knowledge of the future, the princess who was once known as "Selfish Princess who ruined Tearmoon" eventually becomes known as "The Great Sage of the Empire". On the surface, they couldn't be more different. At their core, they were one and the same. Beneath the delusions surrounding her lay an arrogant, coward and slightly-selfish persona that hid a lovable idiot even further below. Because by God, she was trying despite her flaws.
Anne Littstein (アンヌ・リトシュタイン, Annu Ritoshutain)
Voiced by: Tomori Kusunoki[3]
One of the most loyal subjects of Mia and her right hand. She is Mia's personal maid-in-waiting. In the previous timeline, she and Ludwig were the only ones who stood alongside Mia until the end.
Ludwig Hewitt (ルードヴィッヒ・ヒューイット, Rūdovuihhi Hyūitto)
Voiced by: Yuichiro Umehara[3]
One of the most loyal subjects of Mia and her left hand (Right hand regarding political matters). He works at Golden Moon Ministry. In the previous timeline, he and Anne were the only ones who stood alongside Mia until the end.
