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

Rita took Apache's subtle warning to heart, deciding that after their conversation, she'd immediately reach out to Shadow.Q about the situation. The last thing she wanted was to be wiped out, bugs and all, while in Lania Kaia.

Apache continued, "I suspect your Disguise skill can evade even the more mysterious types of skills."

As she spoke, she pulled out a crystal ball. "Give me a strand of your hair. This crystal ball can track your movements over the past 12 hours, starting from the moment you pull out the hair. Want to try?"

Rita was more than eager to test the practical use of her Disguise skill, and the past 12 hours had been mundane: chatting with Samuel and Scarlett, then sleeping—nothing to hide.

With a look of mild disgust, Apache watched Rita pluck a hair from her goblin ear and hand it over. Rita discreetly pressed a hand to the Chávez pocket watch against her chest, quietly tucking it into her inventory.
