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

Professor Bella's transformation took everyone at IMARI by surprise, but they accepted it quickly enough and her popularity soared even more. The IMARI folk had always been very proud of Professor Bella's work anyway – their bragging simply changed from "Our Professor Bella is awesome! Have you heard of her latest research?" to "Our Professor Bella is awesome! Have you heard of her latest research? And she's as beautiful as she is clever! Isn't she just perfect?"


It didn't take Professor Bella much time to get used to it. Perhaps because it was the unconscious vibes given off by Crown Prince Jules and how protective he was of Professor Bella – or, perhaps, because Professor Bella, if not teaching in class, was almost always surrounded by Crown Prince Jules, Prince Raven, Princess Mana and Fox – that no one approached her with unwanted romantic declarations, despite admiring eyes all over the place.
