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 next morning, Mana was woken up by two enthusiastic baby dragons demanding hot chocolate. Raven stood at her door holding their new tiger cub in his arms, smiling helplessly.

"Sorry," he said sheepishly. "They saw the empty cups in my room when they came to wake me up."

"Little Brother Vyom also has a gift for Mommy!" Azar said cheerfully.

Mana looked at the tiger cub curiously – while he had said that he would accept Mana and Raven as his human parents, Vyom had not actually called them Mommy and Daddy yet. Only Grandpapa King Jaren had that honour so far!

"I hope Mommy will like it," the tiger cub said shyly, his demeanour completely different from the haughty façade of last night.

"I'm sure I will," Mana said, rubbing his furry heard.
