“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

Alina never thought that a day would come when the same person who decreed her public execution would be asking for her hand in marriage. It was absurd. But, it was happening.

While dancing, Alina noticed that Stella was leaving the Grand Hall. She wanted to follow her quickly so she could at least have a proper chat with her. But she had to dance with three more people until she was finally able to escape outside.

She searched for Stella in the nearby garden but could not spot her.

"Lady Alina, it's not safe for a lady to wander alone at night," a familiar voice said. She froze recognizing that it was Hendrick.

'Did he follow me or was it a coincidence?'

"Thank you for reminding me, Marquess Hendrick. I just thought that some fresh air would be nice after all that dancing," she faked a smile.

"I see. I shall accompany you then," Hendrick beamed.
