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?

King Jaren sighed heavily. "What would it take for you to leave Dora's body?" he asked.

Queen Dora/Sora laughed manically. "I want you to be my husband properly and I want you to hand over the throne of the Emerald Kingdom to my daughter Astra and retire yourself. Once these two conditions are fulfilled, I will let go of Dora and you can go and do whatever you want."

Before King Jaren could reply, Mana stepped forward and said in a firm voice, "No."

Queen Dora/Sora glared at her. "Don't you want your precious Ma back, little Mana? I never imagined that you would be the one refusing such an offer," she snapped.

Mana crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows with a slight smile on her lips. "Why on earth would I accept such a stupid offer? Papa and Big Brother may be soft and may want to make a deal with you because they are good and sentimental people – but don't assume for a single moment that I am the same," she said.
