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 rest of their time on the ship passed peacefully. They didn't face any turbulent waters, and Raven's sea sickness didn't act up, either – much to everyone's relief.

Instead, King Jaren, King Corvus, Mana and Raven spent a long time discussing the parameters for the new International Trade Council. King Jaren stood by his earlier promise to fund the ships so that an exclusive commercial shipping service could be established for the International Trade Council – and King Corvus also wanted to invest in this, which Mana and Raven were quite happy to accommodate.

If Grandfather wanted to give them a pile of gold – why would they turn it down? Besides, they already knew that they were going to make it profitable, so Grandfather wouldn't be at a loss, either.
