“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

Stella flinched when that question finally came. The question about the Great Sage was rather easy since she was just speaking the truth.

But this one, it was quite a hard decision for her what could be said and what couldn't be.

Why didn't she give Zafir clues about his family background since the time she pretended to be able to see the future?

Couldn't she have used that reason to tell him and the family that she knew some things about Zafir's family so he could have been with them earlier?

Why didn't she? Why did she selfishly hold onto him until now?

She gulped. She was a hypocrite. It was time, to be honest with herself.

It was because she was scared that her most loyal ally would leave her side. She was afraid that everyone would turn against her once they knew she wasn't their true family.

She was scared to be all alone again.
