“If I am going to die anyway, I would rather be a villainess or turn the story upside down,” Yeong-ja vowed vengefully.

Kim Yeong-ja was an avid reader who had read thousands upon thousands of books. She had often wished to be transmigrated as the main character of her favorite novels.

But one day, she suddenly woke up as the best friend of the female lead of a badly written novel where she had to die so the female lead and male lead could have their happy ending.

“Why do I have to die for them to be together?”

Yeong-ja was furious that of all the good books that she had read, she had to be transmigrated in the novel 'Loving My Forever’ where all other characters were made merely to make the main character look good regardless of plot holes.

Since she was a patient reader, Yeong-ja continued to read the whole novel despite how bad it was. She also wanted to know what would happen to the female lead’s best friend named Stella. Only to realize that Stella was killed off in the end.  

Now that she was Stella and knows of the future, Yeong-ja planned to change it if she could; even if she had to make the author furious.

First, she had to make sure she survives her death flag. But how will she do it when upon transmigrating, she finds that Stella was already dying?

Join Yeong-ja in her efforts to live and survive as a character inside a book. Would she be able to change her fate or was her destiny set in stone the way the author wanted?

Reversing Predestined Fate

"Milady! That's no good. Please do not ever think of that again.

"You have finally recovered after so long and everyone was happy once again. Everyone will be heartbroken without you.

"I still want to stay by your side . . . and guard you every single day, milady," Zafir held her by the shoulders and shook Stella out of her reverie.

She was fantasizing about finally enjoying her normal life back in her old world when she realized that Zafir was in front of her. He looked panicked and holding back tears.

"Oh, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. Calm down," Stella said and Zafir eyed her suspiciously.

She grinned and patted his head. He simply looked so adorable; concluding and panicking on his own. His hair felt nice and soft against her palms.

"Do you really not mean it that way, milady?" Zafir verified.

"Yes. No need to worry. Why does everyone worry too much?" Stella wondered.
