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.

"No," Rita said, before adding a reminder. "It's related to the management of blank crystals."

Shadow.Q's expression immediately turned serious. Had the situation become so severe, or was it just Rita being overly cautious to sever their partnership?

It didn't take long for a reply from above: the bureau agreed to all of Rita's conditions. Additionally, the blank crystals sent to Rita in early September would be considered a gift and wouldn't be deducted from her profits.

Shadow.Q pulled out the ledger for Rita to review.

60 to 80 skill crystals to the Special Affairs Bureau. Occasionally, when she was too busy, there would be delays in producing them.
