Honestly, it makes more sense for her to die if she had the harem life. Too many people vying for power so if there are more harem men surrounding her, the more danger she'll be in tbh either through power hunger or through messy jealousy. Remember, it never specified that the brother did it. Just how she died. As for the other scenario, she should have expected to die if she's putting up a front of a villain even if she helped him in the shadows. That shit gets messy fast and realistically most things like shadow work would be revealed once all the dust has settled. She doesn't get to have salvation if she's actively hiding all that shit. I don't get how she always goes for a drastically different plan from the last and not evaluate why exactly it is she dies every time in those timelines. Like it's much smarter to stick to one plan and then figure out who exactly her enemies/allies are and go from there so she can actually have a more successful run. I don't get how you always come to the conclusion that it's always the prince who kills her and not a different power player on the field.
If anything, the easiest thing to do would be to abdicate the throne and leave immediately without telling anyone where she's going. And actually make up a reason to delegitimize her right to the thrown before leaving. Staying anywhere near the thrown will get her killed because she doesn't know the extent of how many people are actually trying to kill her or use her to their advantage that kills her in the process.
After all these time loops, I sure hope she starts investigating why she's going through them at all instead of just focusing on dying peacefully because chances are, she's just gonna keep coming back.

Personally, getting someone killed especially if it's someone innocent is something she should avoid. It gives someone else a legitimate reason to start a revolution to remove her with her ending up dead. And I imagine the case will be the same if she does kill him secretly too. Who knows how many enemies she has that will use the prince's death as an excuse to get rid of her.
Like I said to the other person, the best idea is to just abdicate and leave after making up a reason to delegitimize her right to the throne. But I doubt the author will ever consider it because that would be way too boring.
What I don't get is why the MC is trying to design a peaceful death for herself after all of her experiences and not try to figure out why she's going through all these time loops in the first place. Because if she's going to die peacefully, she's just going to head straight back to the start of the time loop anyways. And there's also the issue with her going through drastically different plans from the last to survive when it's much better to stick with one good idea, figure out why she failed that route, and adjust the plan accordingly. She'd have a much more successful run that way.
Overall, it's not a bad start... it's just that the logic sometimes kind makes me enjoy it less.
