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

For the next half hour or so, Rita and Nivalis struck the mine pick nine more times, violating the rules 27 times in the process.

The worst part about violating the rules wasn't when they were doing something; it was when they were doing nothing at all. The former could be understood through reasoning and experimentation, but the latter had far too many unknowns.

However, Rita did manage to figure out one thing: they couldn't touch the glowing diamonds on the tunnel walls...

Rita awkwardly retracted her hand. "Haha, I really can't touch them, huh? I just guessed and tried, didn't expect it to actually not work."

After receiving a violation notice and losing 9 points of intelligence, Nivalis said with a blank expression, "You were already planning to touch them when you first saw the diamond lights in the cave. Don't think I didn't notice."

Rita: "You didn't stop me, so you're an accomplice."
