“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

(About five years ago . . .)

When Stella informed the family about her dreams related to war and the possible death or disability of the princes, Duke Henry and Emperor Victor had their preparations.

They had a meeting with all dukes and relevant military personnel in the empire. They all took an oath and signed a magical contract made by the Grand Magus that bound them to keep the secrecy of whatever was to be discussed.

To make things easier, it was the Grand Magus that explained everything. Henry didn't quite agree with how the magus referred to Stella but he had no choice. What matters was that her identity was not revealed.

"A Saintess had appeared," the Grand Magus began and everyone gasped. He was among the most trusted individuals in the empire. People believed everything he said because he was the head of the empire's religious order and of the empire's elite magicians.
