“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

"Your mother is always on your side. Just be honest with what you want. My Stella will always get what she wanted," Duchess Amelia stroked her hair and assured her that no matter what she says, her mother would be there for her.

Stella was so touched that she cried again. It felt so nice to have a mother like that. She felt a bit bitter about her life as Yeong-ja wherein her mother didn't care about her.

'Right. Everyone in this world is real. Because this is my reality now. I'm truly grateful for having them as my family.'

Stella then revealed to them that Prince Aiden had confessed his feelings for her and asked for her hand in marriage. She excluded the unnecessary parts (a.k.a the embarrassing moments that made her heart pound) and just went straight to the point as if nothing else happened.

Of course, she didn't mention Prince Aiden crying and falling to his knees either when she asked him to forget about her.
