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?

"Then…will you believe me?" Raven asked softly. "Mana, will you believe what I promised just now?"

"I will," Mana said and flew out of Bella's arms to rush to Raven and hug him instead. "Who else would I possibly believe in if I don't believe you?" she asked.

A slow smile bloomed on Raven's face, as beautiful as a flower bud opening up into its full glory.

Jules and Bella exchanged a rather relieved glance – after all, both of them adored Mana and Raven. How could they bear to see their little sister and little brother be so upset and aggrieved? As it is, they always felt that there were too many responsibilities on Raven's small, young shoulders even though he was just a child – and Mana had admirably stepped up to help Raven with everything she could ever since Raven had entered their lives.
