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

"It feels a bit empty and quiet," King Jaren said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, Papa, you've still got us," Mana said with a smile.

It felt like the old days – with King Jaren, Jules, Mana and Raven in the room. The babies had been put to bed, and everyone else had left.

King Jaren chuckled. "I know, and I am very grateful to have three of my children with me," he said. "Otherwise I would be very lonely, indeed. I've missed you very much these few days, little Mana and Raven."

Jules rolled his eyes. "Yes, yes, little Mana is the apple of Papa's eyes," he teased.

Mana giggled. "I think that's been Azar and Alya for a while now," she pointed out. "Papa, you need to grow more eyes to accommodate the other babies in the future!"

"Dear heavens, no," King Jaren said, horrified, imagining more eyes growing on his face. That would be gross.
