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 softened, and her voice followed suit. "What makes you so sure I'm destined to be a big deal?"

Kayden answered with certainty, "Because you're going to represent your world in the battlefield. That's how all the royals got their start. I know this." And considering how little time it had been since Lania Kaia invaded Blue Star, Ravenclaw already had the qualifications. Kayden was convinced—Rita was bound to become someone as significant as Mistblade Moon Sovereign.

Rita didn't dwell on the point. Instead, she smiled and asked, "So, what do you want?"

Kayden became visibly nervous again. Her gaze flitted between Rita's eyes, unable to focus, as if she couldn't bear to look at her but didn't want to miss her reaction either. Rita patiently waited, and after a long pause, she finally heard Kayden whisper:

"I want to become a noble. When you become the ruler of your world, I want you to make me one of your nobles."
