“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

In this world, mugwort was nothing but grass that grows here and there. It was even considered a weed by farmers since, in some parts of Valyenor, it grows a lot.

However, unlike in her former world, people here didn't use it as a herb just like in her former world as Yeong-ja.

As such, when Stella saw some growing somewhere in the duchy, she got some pretending to make it an ornament in her private garden because she liked the shape of its leaves.

But in fact, she grew it there because of its medical capabilities. Her periods sometimes gave her terrible cramps and mugwort helped relieve it.

Stella also knew of other uses for it such as digestive problems, diarrhea, menstruation problems, birth control, or even abortion.

As such, seeing Alina consume it made her crease her brows.

'Is she suffering from period problems or has irregular menstruation?'
