“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

When she woke up, the sun has risen and everyone was worriedly waiting for her to wake up. Stella had a good night's sleep. She was mentally exhausted from everything that she had to take in yesterday so she had a deep slumber.

First of all, she had died in her former world. She could no longer be Yeong-ja. She has to live her life as Stella for the rest of her life so she had to accept that as her one and only identity in this world.

Secondly, they had been gone for more than three months. There were a lot of things they had missed. She even missed her own birthday and she was now sixteen.

Lastly, the sorcerer who tried to kill her was still out there. And she now had an invitation from the Grand Magus to learn magic which she could use to protect herself.

"So the Grand Magus wants me to learn magic since the empire needed as many magicians as it could," Stella concluded after they had their breakfast.
