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

"I have a feeling that Head Sage Yue has his eyes on Azar," Mana muttered.


Raven, who had cheered up after the double milkshake treat, became morose again. Mana felt guilty, but unfortunately, there was no other way but to discuss this before they actually went to meet the man in the evening.


"I'll try to put him off as much as I can," Raven said. "I don't want him to meet either you or Azar." Deep down, Raven feared the Moon Temple immensely. With just a word, they had ruined his life, branding him as a 'cursed child'. If he hadn't met Jules and then Mana…his miserable existence would have dragged on as usual, probably until he died or lost his mind, whichever came earlier.


Mana poked him in the middle of his forehead, pulling him from his gloomy thoughts. "Are you crazy?" she scolded. "There's no way I'm going to let you meet that horrible man by yourself."
