“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

Days quickly passed by with everyone in Stella's family busy with the preparations for the celebration.

The Grand Magus arrived in advance with his fellow magicians to ensure the safety of the event. Some of the magicians were to stay in strategic locations around the castle while the others would join the celebration like normal participants to look out for any suspicious people.

At least two magicians were also assigned to join the knights who guard each entry and exit point in Alejandro. They could easily signal the Grand Magus if something was wrong.

The number of knights in the castle was also greatly increased in case an attack occurred during the event. It was already increased after the incident where they went missing, but there were even more now.

Stella couldn't help but be nervous when she realized that it wasn't a celebration she could enjoy. Every time she went somewhere, she encountered knights.
