“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 stared at the buildings that were heavily guarded. It was situated behind the castle in a restricted area that only the ducal family had access to. The visitors were probably not able to see it either since it was built on a spot that hid it from the parts of the castle where they received guests.

There were also knights patrolling everywhere so they would quickly notice anyone who approaches it.

"Anyone who is caught snooping around these buildings or trying to get in without permission would be beheaded," Hendrick said while looking directly at Alina.

Alina gasped as she recalled how Hendrick had decreed and announced her public execution.

It was a lab for Stella's health. Alina understood that. But why did they have to be so secretive? Why did they have to behead those who trespass it?

'Does Stella have a secret illness that they were still trying to cure?' Alina panicked.
