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.
Arabella was grateful that her husband wanted to be honest with her despite the risks of getting turned down. He was being sincere and didn't want her to agree without knowing what she was agreeing to.
Thus, she wanted to respond in turn and be honest with him too. After all, she truly wasn't the kind of pure soul he thought either.
"Ferdinand, I know I am weak and you are strong. But there are other ways to kill. I can plot your death and let you die without having to do it myself. And you are wrong if you think I am a pure innocent girl. I have killed people. I have a ton of lives on my hands. I didn't stab them myself nor slit their throats but it's my fault they died. I plotted their death so it's the same as me killing them. Are you sure you still want a wife like me?"
'Why am I saying all these? What if he changed his mind?'
