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

With Alvis heavily regretful about the former Fairy Queen's death, Arabella surmised her former self must also have regrets about their sudden parting.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Alvis' thoughts.

[It's nice to see her marriage in this life seems to be going well too. I feel bad for her former husband but this is her next life after all. I'm relieved to see that even the Great Primordial had indeed softened up to her. I felt his hesitation in leaving this room without speaking with her.]

Arabella smiled upon hearing Alvis' thoughts.

She was glad Alvis had accepted Ferdinand as his former friend's new husband even if he was close to her past husband.

No longer feeling the heat on her face, Arabella took another deep breath and composed herself.

She turned around with her usual composure and said to Alvis, "My apologies about that. Thank you for waiting."
