Before the Real Heroine Steps In

Once bitten, twice shy. That is Anastasia's motto when she awakes with a second chance in life as the Empress in her favorite novel. After realizing that even true love cannot change destiny, Anastasia attempts to help her husband, the Emperor, find his happy ending with the female protagonist--the true heroine of the story. However, it seems that the Emperor has other thoughts. She pushes him away so they can both live, but the Emperor is unsure if he wants to live without his queen.
