“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

Zafir truly thought he was doomed when he saw Hendrick get out of the room where he hid his paintings. He fully thought Hendrick would begin screaming at him to get the hell away from Stella and get out of Valyenor.

But instead, what came from Hendrick was an apology.

He did not understand it at first. But Hendrick's next words said it all.

Hendrick saw Zafir's drawings and paintings of the other Stella in his dreams and mistook it as someone else. He thought it was Zafir's lover.

Zafir was wide-eyed when he realized that Hendrick saw that other Stella in such flimsy clothing. But then again, Hendrick was her older brother.

Zafir glared at his butler who was blushing madly. The latter clearly saw it too.

But Hendrick was also right. He shouldn't have drawn her in such a state anyway. But Zafir didn't have any naughty intentions in drawing those. He made those so he would never forget the dreams he had as time passed by.
