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 fought the urge to ask, "Is what's outside the program good or bad?" She pressed down her curiosity and quelled the ripples of emotion stirring inside her.

The softness she felt toward L4327777 earlier seemed like a mere illusion, a wrong note played in a symphony. It was almost cruel—she had softened toward L4327777 because, at that moment, it was pure and flawless, like newly sprouted grass by the roadside, like freshly fallen snow. But now, L4327777 seemed more like a withered tree that had suddenly gained a sense of intelligence.

She quickly brought the conversation back on track, asking, "How do I leave?"

L4327777 responded, "The dry well in the western corner of the market."

Rita's thoughts stirred. She fixed her gaze on L4327777, her tone still neutral and unreadable. "Isn't that the way to the smelting furnace?"
