After her rebirth, Rita vows not to repeat her past mistakes. This time, her first priority is to stop her brother, who is about to marry into the Lopez family, from participating in the initial game beta test. In her previous life, she was deceived by this scheming brother until her dying breath. It was only at the end that she realized she was merely a villain in a male-oriented novel about a live-in son-in-law, with all the malice and manipulation orchestrated by him behind the scenes.

In this life, Rita decides to change the rules of the game. She will stay in the shadows and seize all the opportunities meant for the male and female leads. By participating in the beta test and re-selecting her abilities, she systematically dismantles the protagonists’ advantages, all while making them believe she’s on their side.

Rita has no intention of harming innocent people, nor is she a selfless saint. In this game, she works with the authorities for mutual benefit, all to achieve her ultimate goal—becoming the true master of her fate.

The tall, thin man from their five-player team shook his head, "She didn't agree."

The burly man chuckled, "Figures. Levi Lopez wanted to talk it out first, though. What a joke, huh?"

The leader of the five-player team, Levi Lopez, responded, "Gotta give people a chance."

The burly man snorted, "You're so fake. You're the cruelest out of all of us, yet you always want to talk first. Like that makes you some kind of good guy."

The other players were clearly used to their bickering and continued with their own tasks.

Levi said, "Alright then, let's move. She'll be back before dark. Everything ready?"

The burly man nodded, "Yeah, don't worry. She won't die. But what if the officials catch us?"

Levi gave a refined smile. "So what? You think they'll kill ten players over one washed-up has-been?"
