“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 was surprised that even the ice-cold duke could turn grumpy. Duke Henry always looked calm and collected like Zafir so it was rare for him to be said to be moody by Hendrick himself.

"Father doesn't lose his cool or anything like that but his aura was scary," Hendrick clarified as if reading her mind once again.

"Yes. And it feels like the study had turned somewhat freezing," Zafir agreed.

'Says someone who looks as cold as the duke,' she thought.

Zafir may not look like Duke Henry but they have the same temperament so most people in the duchy and those who have seen the two together thought that they were father and son. That Zafir just took after her mother's features.

Hendrick always smiled just like Duchess Amelia so he was known as jolly and energetic. He who looked exactly like Duke Henry but always smiled was loved by the women of all ages in their duchy.
