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?

"Well, you may accompany us if you wish," King Jaren said. "But I am afraid I do not see the point of bringing Mana and Raven here, especially since the cursed living ghost corpse Vir is not even here at all. As such, I do not understand why my children are required to come here?" he asked politely, but his brilliant emerald eyes gleamed menacingly, ready to protect his children.

Zed sighed. "Well, you got me there," he murmured. He looked at Queen Dora, "You didn't tell me that your Jaren was this smart, Dora," he complained.

"Of course he is smart," Queen Dora replied. "My Jaren is the best mix of beauty and brains and bravery – there is no one better than him!" she declared proudly.

"But Jaren is right, master," Queen Dora said. "Why do you need little Mana and Raven to visit this place if the cursed living ghost corpse Vir is not even here?" she asked curiously.
