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

Raven's birthday passed blissfully, leaving the young boy very happy. The clouds of depression that had been hanging around him for a while now seemed to have dissipated completely.

The imperial palace of the Emerald Kingdom was bustling with activity, with royal guests from the Sapphire Kingdom, Obsidian Kingdom and Pearl Kingdom. General Aquila also resumed the martial arts and weaponry training the day after Raven's birthday, much to everyone's delight – except Mana, of course. Regent Prince Yuki also enquired shyly if he would be allowed to join – and beamed with joy when he was.

The days flew by and soon enough, it was time for the big banquet. Important guests poured in from all over the world – even the Amber Kingdom sent over Crown Prince Mars and Princess Astra. Thankfully, though, they would only be here for a couple of days before heading back to the Amber Kingdom.
