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

The last two dishes, with a score of 98, were casually handed to the Special Affairs Bureau guards stationed outside, letting them decide what to do with them.

Eleanor enjoyed the perks given to her by the Special Affairs Bureau, so naturally, she took on some work for them. However, this work wasn't mandatory—she could choose the tasks she wanted to do freely, and the Special Affairs Bureau would present her with a variety of tasks, big and small.

The Special Affairs Bureau's approach was quite reciprocal, following a "you respect me, I'll respect you" attitude. Initially, the tasks presented to Eleanor were mostly intermediate or advanced-level, with a substantial workload.

Eleanor would often choose tasks that would benefit many players, but she was careful not to overburden herself. She would complete one task every two days, and if she accepted a task that involved joining a team for an instance run, she'd space them out to three days.
