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

(Inspired by 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens)

Original Storyline – Part 3 – The Ghost of the Future

Emperor Raven was plunged into a terrible mood when the second ghostly Mana disappeared without answering his questions.

And he wasn't even allowed to watch the other him being happy and basking in the love of his family, either. That other Raven was so well-loved, whereas he… was there a single person in this entire world who loved him?

But then… the second ghostly Mana had said that he would be happy, too.

A ray of hope lit up the darkness in the 'Evil' Emperor's fragile heart.

"Hey," a soft voice called. This time, it was a version of Mana in her late twenties or so. She was dressed in a rather strange outfit, unlike anything Raven had seen before.

"Are you the ghost of the future?" Raven asked her.
