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's heart skipped a beat. She didn't understand how Bear Cookies had given her away. Did they have some kind of mark? But her face remained calm, and she even gave a helpless smile.

"You caught me... Fine, this is my disguise. So, are we trading?" She opened her palm, revealing two Dot Suit tiles. "My master doesn't need this suit, anything else will do."

She wasn't sure what this clever Oak Owl wanted, but she had to take a gamble. If the other side didn't want Dot Suit either... then she'd have to summon Nivalis and use the Thieving Dragon Hatchling skill to rewind time.

The shopkeeper Vanilla showed no disappointment at not extracting any information. He weighed the pros and cons in his head.

"My master wants all types of tiles. If we trade, what's in it for me? You offering me two for one?"
