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

After Rita explained the blind box idea, she noticed that the undead and dragons around the table were staring at her with expressions as if they had just seen a demon.

What's going on?! Considering Apache's reputation, Rita thought she had toned it down quite a bit. Back in the BS before the game invasion, these blind box prices could have easily been doubled.

Rita awkwardly cleared her throat. "This is just a tiny, insignificant marketing trick... aren't the Wind Scythe Clan in Lania Kaia good at business? Didn't they do something like this?"

Apache and Kayden both slowly shook their heads in unison.

Kayden: "They still have some morals and boundaries."

Apache downed the drink in her cup and slammed it back onto the table. "But I don't! I'll do it like this!"

Then, she gave Rita's shoulders a heavy pat. "Not bad! Little Apache, you're great! You'll take care of this for me!"
