Athena_Varinder

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

'Ugh, why did I think about that too. Ferdinand would be so upset if he could read my mind,' Arabella was grateful she was the one who had the mind-reading ability and not him.

[What was that? She looked like she thought of something!]

"Really?" Ferdinand eyed her suspiciously.

"Yes, what else would it be?" Arabella returned the question back to him.

[Hmm. She doesn't seem to be lying. But why do I feel weird?]

'He's too sharp. I just happened to think about my other experiences for a second and he already felt something was off.'

Arabella reminded herself to be careful even of her thoughts since her husband was becoming even sharper by the day.

[Or did she practice with her servants? How lucky of them. It should have been me.]

Ferdinand pouted and said, "You are not allowed to ever have male servants."

"Hahaha," Arabella could not help her laughter.
