“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 thought that they were finally going back to the castle when the carriage started moving. She yawned and stretched her arms to fight the sleepiness she was feeling. She opened the window to let in some fresh air.

She frowned when no one was there riding right outside the window. She opened the other side and no one was there as well.

The knights always followed a certain formation when they accompanied her. They always made sure that she was surrounded so that there were no openings for possible attackers.

When she had to ride a carriage to go back to the castle since it was still drizzling and the rain might pour strongly again, Hendrick and Zafir did not stay with her inside. They remained on their steed guarding either side of the carriage instead of just letting the knights do it. They wanted to be ready to protect her in case of danger.
