“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

Song Aeri was the author of the novel 'Loving my Forever'. It was a side hustle she had to do while she was employed in a skincare company because she needed the money to pay her student loans.

Aeri was an orphan. She grew up at an orphanage until she was eighteen. The orphanage tried to treat them well but her experience wasn't good. She was bullied by her other peers. Oftentimes, they got the food that was supposed to be for her and forcefully stole her things.

The owner of the orphanage was kind but her workers were not. When Aeri reported what some of her fellow orphans were doing to her, they only reprimanded the other kids once. The rest of the time, they said they would see to it but did nothing.

As such, once she was eighteen and could leave the orphanage, she took several part-time jobs and lived on her own in a small apartment. She finally got her peace. However, it was harder than she thought.
