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

"Good morning, Mana," a deep, beautiful male voice reached her ears, and Mana's consciousness latched on to it.

This voice was just too beautiful, she thought – there was no other way to define it, and it made one want to know more about the owner of the voice.

Mana blinked slowly, and then rubbed the sleep out of her eyes with her fingers as she sat up.

She did a double take when she caught a look at her surroundings. Why did it look like a modern luxury hotel from her previous world?!

"Are you up now? Would you like to eat something?" the beautiful voice asked her in a gentle, indulgent tone.

Mana's head whipped around, and she caught sight of a beautiful back dressed in the plush bathrobe with the logo of a luxury brand of hotels. She knew this particular hotel brand very well; her family had some investments in it. They were one of the most expensive and exotic hotel chains in the world.
