The Evil Emperor's Fragile Heart

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?

Chapter 134 – Ghost Corpse

Bella's face went very pale and she fixed her gaze on the captured man, looking at him carefully. Jules could practically see the instant comprehension dawned on her and she staggered back.

Jules immediately slipped his arm around his fiancée's slender waist, steadying her.

"It's all right, Bella," he murmured softly. "I'm here. It's fine. It's all fine," he murmured in a soothing voice.

King Jaren narrowed his eyes. "This is a ghost corpse, isn't it?" he asked.

Queen Carolina nodded. "Yes, my late husband's spirit seems to be resurrected. I'm not sure how his body looks identical to his own when he was still alive," she murmured. "As far as I know, necromancy can only resurrect corpses in their decayed form, not their original bodies," she added.

Bella let out a soft cry. "This man…he really – is he really my father?" she asked, her eyes fixed on her mother Queen Carolina, and filling up with tears.
