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.
"That wasn't it. Of course, I have it! I wasn't incapable or anything!" Ferdinand desperately tried to correct her misunderstanding.
"Then, what is it?" Arabella searched his face and wanted to laugh due to the expression he was making. She did her best to look the same as usual since Ferdinand might feel insulted if she lets out her laughter.
"I have work to do. I'll see you later," Ferdinand reasoned again and teleported before she could reply.
'Geez. What's wrong with him? Now that he's this embarrassed to say it, it makes me even more curious.'
Arabella wanted to go and pester him about it, but she decided to wait until he was ready to tell her.
However, that night, Arabella had another dream and what Ferdinand was trying to hide from her was revealed in it.
One of the reincarnations before her pursued Ferdinand so much and made him fall for her to the point he was willing to try being a couple with her.
Back then, Ferdinand's human form looked like a twenty-year-old man.
