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

Mana and Raven looked at Bella curiously.

Bella turned to Jules. "Do you want to show them?" she asked.

Jules nodded happily and held out his palm. A flame and a piece of rock appeared on his palm at the same time, and then the two merged together in front of the astonished eyes of Mana and Raven! It looked like molten lava from a volcano!

"I want to try this!" Mana said immediately, and opened her palm. A flame and a piece of rock appeared on her palm as well, but they refused to merge no matter how she tried.

"Big Brother! It's not working!" Mana complained. "How did you do it?"

Jules chuckled and explained it to her. Mana listened carefully, and tried again, but unfortunately, the flame and the rock refused to merge in her hands. Raven listened carefully, too, but he didn't make any attempts to try it himself; he simply stood by and watched Mana with an indulgent smile on his face.
