Falling for his warm touch despite his usual coldness, she loved him only to be disappointed and betrayed in the end.

When love turns to darkness, it festers to be poisonous and consumes the soul.

The naïve Arabella evolved.

“Thank you for becoming my wife,” was her cold husband’s last words before he died, coupled with a smile that had never before graced his lips. Not on their wedding day. And not even at the birth of their only child.

Emperor Ferdinand, someone Arabella loved so much, killed their son. 

She became a villainess and vowed revenge for her beloved child. 

For a decade, she used everything she could to make Ferdinand pay.

Until finally… he fell to ruin!

With her revenge complete, Arabella's life soon ended with her dead husband in her arms.

But fate wasn’t done playing with her. 

All of a sudden, she was back two decades ago right after their wedding.

Was it a curse or a blessing?

It didn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do.

“I will ruin you in this lifetime too!” 

This was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn.

But in her second life, Arabella was unexpectedly bestowed a gift to uncover the truth.

Who was wrong and who was right? 

Only time will tell.

Reborn as a Mind-Reading Empress

'Haha. This kid already knows to flatter,' Arabella internally chuckled at his words.

"Then, why were you hiding behind your father's back at the time?" Arabella teased and Dimo was wide-eyed when he realized she was right.

Dimo looked embarrassed as he thought about it.

"I was just a bit shy back then," he finally managed to say.

"I see. Then maybe, they would feel a bit shy at first too. As long as you treat them well, I'm sure they would try speaking and playing with you," Arabella assured him.

"Will they?" Dimo asked in a hopeful yet still doubtful voice.

"Yes, of course," Arabella knew Raymart and Alice would love to have friends, especially since their sibling rivalry kept getting stronger.

Dimo was relieved at her words but still had his fears.

Thus, Arabella distracted him from getting depressing thoughts until they reached their destination.
