“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 stared at Hendrick as another sigh heaved from his chest before he finally replied.

"I haven't decided who it would be, yet. But I have to get married soon," he said and Stella understood why he was so depressed.

She knew that day would come soon since Hendrick was already twenty-one. But it still caught her by surprise. They had just returned and surely, Hendrick also still had a lot of work to do.

Stella figured that people in that world tended to get married early due to the life expectancy being in the fifties. It was even earlier for women due to childbirth.

Stella had learned from her teachers that war often breaks out between Solis Nigellus and the neighboring kingdoms.

It was another reason why people married early. They needed to have children in case they perished in the war or else their household would be left without the next head and would be doomed. They have to ensure that their bloodline continues.
