“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

The war with Valencia was as bloody as ever. Hendrick was in a bad mood as the battle at the borders ensued. Not only could he not see Stella for long, but his marriage plans were also unsure of pushing through as Valencia seemed to be keen on waging an all-out war.

The strength and number of their troops that headed to the borders indicated that they were intent on fighting the war with Valyenor until there was a clear winner, unlike the usual skirmishes where they only poke and provoke.

Hendrick surmised that Valencia had prepared for this war for a long time. The strength of their troops was not a joke. They were fully equipped with the best weapons that could only be made in years to supply such a huge number. That was the first time since the last war with them that they deployed such a huge number to the borders. And yet, scouts had accounted for more troops marching in their direction.
