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

The group soon bid farewell to Head Sage Yue and Regent Prince Yuki and used an array to go to the port town of the Pearl Kingdom. There were a bunch of citizens of the Pearl Kingdom waiting to catch a glimpse of their new king as soon as they appeared.

"Looks like you are already very popular in the Pearl Kingdom, Raven," Jules said, patting the younger boy's shoulder affectionately.

Raven rolled his eyes. "It's not like they had very high standards to begin with," he murmured, thinking of the cowering former King Min. Raven felt quite disgusted with himself for calling that abominable man 'uncle' – he really must have been blind as a bat to think that the former King Min was a decent person!

Mana immediately glared at Raven. "Don't disparage yourself," she hissed angrily.
