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

Raven blinked innocently at his livid grandfather.

"Why wouldn't I?" he asked guilelessly. "You made it very clear that you didn't want me, and there wasn't anyone in two kingdoms who wanted me alive. And then I was accidentally found by the royal children of the Emerald Kingdom, and they saved my life and then they welcomed me not only into their home, but also into their hearts. What reason would I possibly have to turn down their affections? Did I ever receive anything other than pain and humiliation in your home? Did anyone ever show a shred of care or concern for me? If it were you, would you choose to stay with a family that hates you and wants you dead, or a family that loves you and treats you with respect?"

Raven's voice rose up towards the end of his speech, and Mana immediately pulled him even closer to herself, soothing him.

Azar, too, turned back into his small dragon shape and cuddled up with his Mommy and Daddy.
