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

After the photography session was over, the group returned to the imperial palace of the Sapphire Kingdom.

As soon as they stepped out of the room where they arrived, though, they found that the Captain of the Imperial Shadow Guards of the Sapphire Kingdom was waiting anxiously for them.

He bowed as soon as he saw Queen Carolina.

"What's wrong?" Queen Carolina asked, narrowing her eyes at him. "Dispense with the formalities. We are with family at the moment."

The Captain nodded. "Your Majesty, the imperial library was broken into and one book was stolen," he said quietly. "We caught two of the thieves, but the third one escaped with the book. However, before we could interrogate them, they committed suicide – both of them."

Queen Carolina frowned. "Which book?" she asked. "And were you able to find any clues about the origins of the thieves?"
