“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?

After forty-seven years of life, Henry did not expect that he would one day hear news like that. It was hard to believe that his wife, who had just recently turned forty got pregnant.

He thought they were already approaching the end of their lives and they would have to leave their position to the next generation. And yet, all of a sudden he hears that his wife was pregnant.

In the past four months, he had been so busy roaming around the duchy to ensure that all the territories were prepared for battle in case things got worse in Eleftheria and Zachary. He was preparing in case the kingdoms of Ethelinda and Ardiente decides to join the war.

He had to ensure security along the borders they had with those two.

If they show the slightest bit of weakness in the war with Valencia; Ethelinda and Ardiente might take that opportunity to strike.
