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

Every skill within [Midnight Exile] was worthy of its SSS-tier designation, and the first three were passive skills—no cooldown, no cost.

It was so powerful that Rita doubted even an SSS-tier version of her [One-Person Party] could match its strength. It was otherworldly.

[Midnight Exile] was the strongest combat talent she had ever encountered.

The damage progression was staggering: the first attack dealt x damage. If it failed to kill, the second attack would deal 5x, and if that also failed, the third would deal 25x. The damage multiplier capped at 125x on the fourth attack.

The [Absurd Story] skill was equally astonishing.

Not only would anyone attacking her suffer the same damage reflected back at them, but they might also accidentally heal her—a slim chance, but the possibility alone was absurdly advantageous.
