Reborn as a Mind-Reading Empress
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.
Fear of Not Being Good Enough
"I see. That it is indeed quite troublesome. Did you tell him we were never too intimate? He might be misunderstanding things. My wife misunderstood so she was rather stiff and nervous every time at first. She was too pressured to be like you or beat you since I might compare. She feared she would not be good enough. I had to clarify nothing ever happened between us before she was finally able to relax and stop thinking I might be comparing," Andrew said and Arabella blinked twice.
'Ferdinand was like this too. He's insecure and worried about everything. I already told him I never went all the way with Andrew but he was still worried.'
