The Tale of a Saint Who Doesn’t Realize Her Own Strength
The story revolves around Lady Carolina, the younger daughter of a powerful noble family who has always been overshadowed by her elegant elder sister, Flora. Carolina is sent to marry Prince Edward, a prince feared for his ruthless reputation. She expected the worst but was surprised to find kind people who welcomed her. At the same time, Carolina remains unaware of her incredible hidden powers, which keep revealing themselves without her knowledge.
The story mixes classic “villainess” tropes with lighthearted fantasy comedy, making it a fun and wholesome experience. It has already become popular with fans of the light novel series. Now, the anime adaptation brings this world to life with a production designed for a strong debut.
A Skilled Production Team Behind the Anime Adaptation
Animation is being handled by Magic Bus and Picante Circus, with Mitsutaka Noshitani serving as director.

Noshitani previously directed The Strongest Tank’s Labyrinth Raids, while Machida has credits on titles including 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy.
The voice cast for the core trio was confirmed early on. The anime stars Rie Takahashi as protagonist Carolina, Makoto Furukawa as Prince Edward, and Haruka Shiraishi as Flora. Takahashi is widely known for roles such as Megumin in KonoSuba and Emilia in Re:ZERO, making her an ideal fit for a lead character who is simultaneously powerful and completely unaware of it.
