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.
Fooled and Abandoned
Years passed and Ferdinand was finally good at writing and reading human language. However, he decided to continue living with Ara to observe the human way of life.
Thus, Arabella had to continue watching the two flirt with each other. Ferdinand looked innocent and clueless though even as he flirted with Ara.
Meanwhile, Ara interpreted Ferdinand's decision as his way of saying that he also did not want to part with her just as she does.
Arabella noticed that the river nymph's feelings grew deeper and deeper as the years passed. It rather irked her too when the nymph began acting like she was Ferdinand's wife because they were living together.
