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.

This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist

It was noon, and Rita happened to be on Earth. Seeing it was Rick calling, she answered right away: "Hello? What's up?"

Rick gripped the steering wheel, trying to sound as casual as possible: "No dungeon today. Do you have time for lunch? Want to eat together?"

Though Rita wasn't sure what had gotten into Rick, she wasn't going to refuse such a small request, especially since it was an opportunity to get some of Rick's hair: "Sure. Where are we eating? Did you make a reservation? Are you picking up Mom and Dad, or should I?"

Rick's mood eased a bit: "I'll pick them up. I already booked a table at the Lopez family restaurant. You love their food, don't you?"
