The Third Time’s The Charm! Princess That never received an actual name and suffered many years of abuse. Each time she meets her untimely end, she’s sent back into the past, and during her third loop, she restarts as a three-year-old girl. 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 of how 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.
