Empress of Self-Ruin

[10x times featured]
Countless people have suffered tragedy simply for a protagonist to shine and rise as heroes, but are they really heroes if they ruin everyone else's stories for the sake of their own?

Ever since Empress Calypso Berenice nearly drowned in a lake, she has been recalling some very strange memories that are not her own. Memories that belong to another life, another time---where she lived as Park Hanbyeol, a thirty-year-old music producer from modern-day South Korea. If that isn't bizarre enough, the proud and dignified empress also discovers that the world she now lives in is nothing but a tragic fiction novel Park Hanbyeol once read and hated with a passion.

Calypso, along with all the main characters from the original story appears to have traveled back in time with the memories of the first timeline, but she isn't even one of the main characters---she's merely an unimportant extra; the male lead's wife whom the villain executed without a second thought. Her tragic death wasn't even mentioned in the story, so why on earth has she regressed as well?
