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 was completely silent on their way to the imperial palace, while Mana quickly briefed Head Sage Yue about Rei and the list he would share with them the next day.

"Well done, Mana," Head Sage Yue praised.

Once they reached the imperial palace, Head Sage Yue quickly sent off Regent Prince Yuki, Raven and Mana to their rooms to rest as soon as they arrived. The three of them were scheduled to travel tomorrow, and they needed to get some sleep.

Mana could sense that Raven was feeling uneasy, but she didn't know why. Had something happened while she was speaking with Rei?

"Is something wrong?" Mana asked Raven softly as they walked towards their quarters.

Raven hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Mommy, there was this girl at the Lotus Institute who kept trying to get close to Daddy," Vyom spoke up. "I didn't like her smell at all!"
