“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

"Henry! Zafir!" Duchess Amelia beamed upon seeing the two arrive.

Stella and Hendrick were alerted and quickly walked beside their mother to prevent her from seeing Zafir's face at all costs.

Zafir was wearing an elegant mask that covered half of his face. His hair was tied to one side to cover his ear which had burn marks. He was wearing a turtle neck to hide the ones on his neck. And he was wearing gloves on both hands.

They hadn't told her mother exactly how badly Zafir was hurt since the latter would panic and get too emotional. It's bad for her pregnancy so they were being careful.

"Dear, how is our young one doing?" their dad diverted her attention.

"He's been behaving nicely," their mom caressed her belly.

But she soon glanced at Zafir and stared at the mask he was wearing.

"Uhm, yes, Your Grace," Zafir replied nervously and looked away.
