“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

With her long talk with Dr. Arnold finally over, Stella went to her personal laboratory.

When she was twelve, Duke Henry had built one for her when she did her own experiments on cosmetics-making. She was sure he didn't really understand what she was trying to do but he supported her endeavors anyway.

Hendrick even thought that she was truly trying to be a doctor and it took some of her time to explain to him that making beauty products (which he also did not understand and had to be explained) was much more complicated than it looks which is why she needed a laboratory for it.

After a lot of trials, Stella began making her own cosmetics starting from what was easiest for her to do.

Stella was a natural beauty but she also had to maintain it. She noticed that adult ladies must be using some kind of makeup since some of the ladies she had seen had their lips tainted red or pink.
