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.
I Don't Recall
"Ferdinand, you truly went through all that?"
"No. I'm strong, why would something like that happen," Ferdinand's eyes were elsewhere as he replied. He was trying to deny it because he did not want to seem weak.
"Ferdinand, I just want to know the truth. I won't be able to stop thinking about it after having such a long dream," Arabella pushed.
[Right. It must be bothering her.]
"I, I did. But it's so long ago. I vaguely remember the details. I only recalled most of it now that you told me about your nightmare in detail," Ferdinand said like it was nothing.
"Oh, my goodness! You really went through something so horrible," Arabella's eyes welled up all on their own as she thought about how painful and traumatic all of those must have been.
[Is she crying for me?] Ferdinand was conflicted about how he should feel. It made him happy that she was crying for his sake. But it made him feel bad seeing her cry like this.
