“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

Prince Aiden froze when it was confirmed by the Grand Magus that the person whom he had pointed his sword at was the real Stella. Fabian beside him was speechless. Francis instantly dropped to his knees and kept asking forgiveness even when Stella nor the ducal family was not even looking at him.

'But how come she did not recognize me? She did not seem to recognize brother Fabian as well? Or did we scare her too much because we were suddenly pointing our weapons at her?' Aiden wondered.

'Ah, of course. That must be it,' he assured himself.

This was the first time he laid his eyes on Stella after five years but he always looked at portraits of her so he still knew what she looked like. A portrait of Dukes and Duchess and their sons and daughters were submitted yearly to the palace for record-keeping purposes and Aiden always checked it for Stella's portraits once it arrives. Thus, he knew what Stella looked like.
