“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

It had been years since Alina last saw Stella.

In the three months and seventeen days that Stella was missing, Alina never had a peaceful night's sleep.

Her sleep was always bothered by nightmares of seeing Stella's corpse in her previous life and the tragedies that followed afterward.

'This wasn't supposed to happen,' she often thought as she worriedly waited for any good news regarding Stella but she was always informed of the same news.

There were no developments and there was no sign of where Stella, her knight, and her brother had gone.

Alina was beginning to panic that Stella may have been already dead when she heard that the Grand Magus had gone to Valyenor to help in the search.

Hope bloomed in her heart just as it did with everyone else who cared for the return of the three.

But months passed and even the Grand Magus who was the best magician in the empire was not able to find the three.
