Mana was a brilliant young lawyer working for the biggest international law firm in the world. With her prodigious talents, influential family and a perfect fiancé, her life was considered a dream come true…until a freak accident cost her everything. Or so she thought. After three years of being confined to a hospital bed, the man she had loved with all her heart told her about his betrayal as he slit her throat.

The next moment, Mana found herself in the body of a sickly ten-year-old princess of the same name, in a world she thought to be fictional. “The Legend of Mars” was an ancient epic chronicling the adventures of the divine King Mars and his virtuous wife, Queen Astra, and their triumph over the evil, half-demon emperor Raven. Princess Mana was the unfortunate half-sister of Princess Astra, who died at the age of ten…and somehow pulled in Mana’s soul.

And thus, Royal Princess Mana decided to make the best of her new chance at life and seek happiness. However, she soon found that what she had read in “The Legend of Mars” and the actual people she met were very different. Why was the divine child Mars an insufferable brat? Why was the virtuous Astra plotting nefarious schemes? Why did the brother of Mars look exactly like her traitorous fiancé of her previous life? And the meek little boy she accidentally rescued was actually the fearsome evil emperor …? But why on earth was he clinging to her and looking at her with puppy eyes?

The Evil Emperor's Fragile Heart

A few days later, the entire campus of IMARI was abuzz with the news of a new beauty appearing in the institute.


"Heavens! She's so beautiful! Is she a student?"


"She must be – they won't allow in anyone who didn't qualify for the entrance test no matter how good-looking they are…"


"A beauty with brains…or a brainiac with beauty…either way, I'm so envious!"


"She must be from the Sapphire Kingdom, right? With that hair and eyes…?"


"I wonder if Professor Bella knows her…?"


"Maybe she's a princess or a noble lady? Look at how graceful she is!"


The mysterious beauty walked to Headmistress Ana's office under the curious eyes of everyone. Headmistress Ana, who was chatting leisurely with Jules, Raven and Mana, froze when the beauty entered her office and closed the door behind her.


"Bella?!" she cried incredulously. "Is that really you?"
