What to expect in 7th Time Loop anime Episode 1

The synopsis for the 7th Time Loop anime Episode 1, titled The Fiance Who Killed Me, has already arrived on the anime's official website, which reads the following when translated into English:

"The Duke's daughter, Rishe Irmgard Weitzner, had a secret that if she died at the age of 20, she would be thrown into a loop the moment her engagement was called off. 'This is my seventh life, and I want to live a long life!', Rishe decides, but then Arnold Hein, the crown prince of Garkhain, who killed himself in the sixth life, appears."

As such, fans can expect the first episode to build up the story's premise. It will introduce the main characters, including Rishe, Arnold, and others. The Duke's daughter will accept being the wife of her previous life's killer, Arnold, for the sake of living a peaceful life.
