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.
A Wish for Rest
Arabella and Ferdinand were kissing on the couch when someone knocked to deliver their food.
Soft foods were prepared for Arabella since she hadn't eaten anything in three days. Meanwhile, Ferdinand's was mostly meat as usual.
She ate slowly since they were not in any hurry this time and she was not yet allowed to do work anyway. Her husband could be quite stern when it comes to her health.
"Your body is too weak so you have to take it easy for a few days. I just realized it recently but you seem to be a workaholic. You do not let a day pass without getting some work done. But I won't let you do that for now," was what Ferdinand said to her.
He thought that human bodies were too weak and if he didn't stop her from working, she might exhaust herself to death.
'I'm not a workaholic. I'm just used to doing my job as an Empress every single day for two decades. It had become a habit.'
