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.

Her husband froze for a second before speaking.
"Those were from his sword when we sparred. We sparred for hours so it ended up hurting his hands that way," Ferdinand quickly clarified when he regained his composure.
"I… I see," Arabella accepted Ferdinand's explanation and it made Benjamin pout.
'Right. Ferdinand had seen a lot of blood since he had been on the battlefield a lot. I can't trust his measurement of hurt badly and not. What if one day he comes back from battle and tells me he just got grazed a bit when he was actually stabbed deeply?'
