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?

"So, we're good now?" Mana asked Raven. "We can start getting ready for the banquet?"

Raven sighed, but nodded, giving his assent to Mana. Not that he would ever be able to hold off anything which Mana really wanted anyway, he thought wryly to himself.

Mana rewarded her young fiancé with a bright smile and a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you," she said happily. "You are really the best!'

Raven could only shake his head helplessly and flash her a smile of his own.

And thus, the two of them appeared at the banquet in the evening, looking perfectly healthy as pretty as dolls.

Jules and Bella were visibly relieved at seeing that Mana and Raven were all right.

"How are you feeling?" Jules asked Mana in a low voice as soon as she sat down.

"Perfectly fine," Mana replied. "Don't worry so much, Big Brother. Otherwise you'll ruin your handsome face," she added with a grin.
