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.

The smell of burnt matter filled the air and thick smoke darkened the sky.
Yet, more fires were created everyday.
No, they had to be maintained.
They had to keep burning.
The sky had been gray in this part of Valeria for days now even without winter beginning yet.
The flora in the surroundings had dyed out. No, they had been cleared up to be burned so they won't keep becoming nourishment for the pests.
Several territories looked desolate in a matter of days.
Ashes blown by the wind kept falling like snow everywhere.
The air was dusty and heavy with all the particles floating around.
They had been burning crops for days but they still had to keep burning more as the infectious diseases and malevolent pests grew even wilder when the crops they preyed on were gone.
