nameless princess, three lives, and a new hope

follows a young princess who, never given a name and a victim of abuse, dies in
each of her previous lives. However, upon reaching her third cycle ,
she is revived as a three-year-old girl with all her memories intact. This
time, she is blessed by the Golden Dragon , guardian deity of
the imperial family, and the legendary Flame Tiger , a
creature as powerful as it is adorable.
What was
once indifference from her family now turns to affection. Her older
brother , the crown prince, begins to see her as an angel, and
everything indicates that even her cold and ruthless father, the
emperor , may eventually show her affection. In this new opportunity,
the princess will fight with all her might to earn her place in the world...
and finally obtain a name of her own .
