“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

Zafir Alistair Valyenor grew up in the Valyenor household as the second son of Duke Henry and Duchess Amelia. And he fully thought that they were truly a family. That Hendrick was his older brother, and Stella was his younger sister.

That was until he heard the truth from servants in the castle when he was six years old while playing hide and seek with Hendrick.

"Why should we treat him like he was a noble? He's a nobody. No one even knows of his true origin," one said.

"Indeed. What if he was the son of criminals? Or was a cursed child so he was abandoned," another added.

"Right? What if he brought bad luck to the ducal family or the entire duchy?" the third one joined in.

The servants were talking about how Zafir was just some baby that the duke picked up from who knows where and how his presence might only bring harm to the family.
