    Why It Should Get Picked Up:
    So I read it with mtl, but I know that this is a worthy read. First, I think that this is about the MC's journey to reign as a queen to change the future where she get killed by a revolution. So there are politics, hidden plots, character growths, action, etc. Second, she only remember the day when the revolution happens and get killed. So she doesn't know about the why, when, how of the situation. She only know the one who killed her. And so, she strived to learn all things about her kingdom and the situation around it so she could prevent the war with the neighbour kingdom and the revolution. Third, romance is NOT the focus. So if you are tired with all the female protagonist reverse harem novels, this is a must read.
    Description:
    I'll just paste the raw description here so I don't butcher the translation with mtl.

    歴史あり、誇り高きハイルランド王国。その建国を祝う<星祭>の夜、王妃アリシアは城に乗り込んできた革命軍に胸を貫かれ、命を落とした。―――はずだった。

     愛する王は寵姫と逃げ去り、臣民には見放され、絶望の中に<傾国の毒薔薇>として虚しく死んだはずのアリシアは、なぜか、もう一度おなじ人生をやり直していた。

     10歳のある日、ふとしたきっかけで<革命の夜>の記憶を取り戻し、自分が“やりなおしの生”を生きていることに気付いた王女アリシアは、混乱をしつつも状況を見極めるべく動き始める。そのさなか、アリシアは前世で自分を亡き者にした謎の美青年、クロヴィスと偶然の再会を果たした。

     運命のいたずらで“やりなおしの生”をあたえられた王女が、王国を待ち受ける凄惨な未来を変えるために、革命首謀者あらため王女付き補佐官クロヴィスと共にたちあがる。

    ※R15指定は、保険です。

    Edit: translation from @codiro
    The kingdom of Heileland had a long and proud history. However, during the night of the Star Festival celebrating the birth of the kingdom, Queen Alicia was stabbed through the chest as a rebel army stormed the castle.

    Her beloved king had abandoned the people and fled with his favorite mistress. Alicia should have died in the depths of despair, reviled as the "Courtesan's Poisonous Rose", but for some reason, she was given a second chance at her life.

    On her 10th birthday, she suddenly regained memories of the night of the uprising. In her redo-life, Princess Alicia began to ascertain what happened through the chaos. In a strange twist of fate, Alicia ran into the bishounen who had killed her in her previous life: Clovis.

    The princess, to whom fate had granted a second chance, in order to avert the gruesome future awaiting the kingdom, must work together with the would-be leader of the revolutionaries, Aide-to-the-Princess, Clovis.

    ----
    I hope someone pick this novel up :D and thank you for the translation, @codiro !

    The kingdom of Hairurando(I hate names... Highland seems kinda stupid) had a long and proud history. However, during the night of the Star Festival celebrating the birth of the kingdom, Queen Arishia/Alicia was stabbed through the chest/heart as a rebel army stormed the castle.

    Her beloved king had abandoned the people and fled with his faCorite mistress. Alicia should have died in the depths of despair, reviled as the "Courtesan's Poisonous Rose"(this could be improved upon), but for some reason, she was given a second chance at her life.

    On her 10th birthday, she suddenly regained memories of the night of the uprising. In her redo-life, Princess Alicia began to ascertain what happened through the chaos.(brain gave up this sentence, probably about figuring out what caused the revolt) In a strange twist of fate, Alicia ran into the [biseinen] who had killed her in her previous life: Clovis.

    The princess, to whom fate had granted a second chance, in order to avert the gruesome future awaiting the kingdom, must work together with the would-be leader of the revolutionaries, Aide-to-the-Princess, Clovis.

    Hrm... seems interesting, but you wouldn't want my release rate working on this series... but just by looking at the summary, I don't believe a pure MTL and edit what comes out would do this series justice.
    Disclaimer: I just randomly made up terms... so any TLer should give them some scrutiny. Any self-respecting TLer will.

    PS: I disagree with the title's (M)TL

    Sounds a bit similar to 'Aku no Joou no Kiseki', but really interesting. I hope someone will pick this up!

    No it's quite alright! Please give me more suggestion, I would like to change the tentative title because it's reaaally shown that I only google translate it lol

    The 'trying to prevent revolution' and the kingdom-building part? Yeah, sure. Except without the smut and harem, and the MC is a reincarnator, not transmigrator. I also love Aku no Joou no Kiseki! At least from what I have read from the teaser :D

    Oh yay \o/

    But what do you mean you're not good at writing? Not good at making the story flow well after translating from JPN to EN?

    Yeah, it's kind of difficult to make the story flow and sound cohesive after translating from Japanese. I tend to first translate literally and then convert whatever I have to more natural-sounding English, which I personally find really difficult because I'm pretty terrible at creative writing. Everything I write just sounds awkward and choppy to me. ;-;

    Oh so you are fluent in Japanese then? Hmm if you are able to get an editor then they may be able to help you with the flow. Flow does make for a better reading ^_^

    Have you thought about where you are going to host the translations?

    Haha, I wish I were fluent in Japanese. Having an editor does sound like a good idea, but I think I prefer working alone. Even though editing is quite the chore, I do kind of enjoy it. Besides, I think I'll gradually improve and get faster at improving the flow as I do more translations.

    I'm already hosting on Wordpress and have also already uploaded chapter 1 if you'd like to read it. If you do, please feel free to give me any feedback. :)

    In the end, after the evil mistress tries to kill FL, ml saves her and kills her. And simtry (idk how spell) tells ml about the past life and what he did that made FL so scared of him. Ml apologizes to FL. They do their first night properly. The end :/

    Also everyone has memories of the past life except ml, even in the extra chapters he didn't regain the memories. I think it's hinted that this is in another world, so the ml in the past life is not the same as the ml in this life. This is proven by the fact that his behavior was different when FL first met him at 10 years old. Moreover the evil mistress called this timeline 'a different world' which she wants to conquer again.

    he has a fetish for pathetic women, alone, depressed and neglected. (I'm not even kidding about the fetish) his goal was to make FL completely trust him and get her pregnant, and push her so deep into despair. He achieved that when she was getting executed.

    I don't even know why I read this. I'm regretting it now. A waste of time tbh
