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.
Problems with Reproduction [Bonus chapter]
The world was ravaged and there were barely a few survivors among all races.
From a billion, only several million of the human race were left after the long-lived races went berserk.
Meanwhile, from a million, the population of the long-lived race dropped to a hundred thousand after humanity's plot.
But after they went berserk and self-destructed, the long-lived races left were less than fifty thousand. And this number included nature spirits which were the greatest number of survivors.
Nature spirits usually blend in with their natural habitats so humans did not know how to kill most of them. Thus, they were the ones who survived with the most number.
Due to this tragedy, the gods had to make an ultimatum so this won't happen again. They decided to separate their creations. The long-lived races would no longer live among the humans. The short-lived humans would rule among themselves.
