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?

Raven blinked slowly and the black energy undulating around him wavered for an instant.

"Yes," he murmured. "You are right, Big Sister Bella."

An opalescent rainbow hued wave of magic began to flow out of his right hand and moved towards Mana, enveloping her.

Mana, who had been unable to stand or speak until now because of the bone crushing pain she was in, suddenly felt like she could breathe properly again.

Her green eyes blazed with fury as she let go of her big brother's support and glared at Raven.

"Are you in such a hurry to die?" she hissed angrily.

Raven smiled sadly and coughed up blood. "I can't be allowed to hurt Papa…" he whispered. "Mana, you know that…"
