“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

Stella was relieved that she did not encounter Alina again after the ball. She had met both Prince Aiden and Alina earlier than she should. She thought that meeting Prince Aiden earlier than supposed to be was a special case. But after meeting Alina as well, she realized that what if the other events in the novel would also happen earlier?

She realized that she had no time to dawdle. The war and the epidemic might happen earlier too. If she wanted to at least lessen the number of deaths, she had to start her preparations now.

Stella could recall from what she had read that half of Valyenor's knights were sent to the war to support Prince Aiden and only half returned. Other duchies have a lesser number of knights compared to them so it was not easy for them to send off their knights to battle and leave their own duchies defenseless.
