“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 was so relieved that Zafir didn't actually hate her. He was too kind for his own good but she was happy that he didn't despise her.

She finally had a good night's sleep after several sleepless nights thinking of how to apologize to Zafir or if she should just let things as it is.

But now, everything was resolved. She just had to speak with the sage so she could offer information in exchange for the cure. She had a feeling he could truly cure them.

"Oh, did you two make up?" her mother asked at breakfast.

"Yes," Stella beamed and the duchess went to embrace them both. Her brother and father also smiled and nodded in approval.

Stella spent the morning doing some work and replying to letters from the princes.
