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 raised her hand and gently pressed it against Nivalis' head, looking back into her eyes. She replied earnestly, "No, this isn't about repayment. Just like when I used to send you pocket money, there's no ulterior motive. I just wanted to give you a gift, to make you happy."

In truth, Rita knew everything. She had always prepared for Nivalis to leave her, so she pretended to be clueless.

Nivalis then threw her arms around the lantern and rolled around a few times. "Now, that's more like it."

Aside from that, Wrathful Moon could still be upgraded. However, this time the required material wasn't Moon Sand but something called [Shattered Stars], and it required 1000 pieces. Rita had never even heard of it...

After soothing Nivalis, Rita returned to the past to send a note to herself: [Don't bring Resurrection Skills].

While Rita was handling the aftermath back at home, chaos was erupting in the World Battleground!
