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 rubbed her chest, trying to locate her sometimes-there, sometimes-not conscience. She had to dig it out and stamp on it.

B80234615: "I want to taste and record the emotion called 'hope.' After you leave, I can simulate this emotion myself.

"I need to simulate this emotion! To nourish my will."

Rita's brows slowly furrowed. First, it offered her an out with a "step down," but now it was trying for a second one.

Perhaps B80234615 could be selfless toward mechanical races, but Rita wasn't one of them.

For things she couldn't understand but found illogical, Rita always assumed there must be a trap.

Any shred of softness she might have felt vanished in an instant, leaving her feeling uninterested. After all, once mechanical races gained wisdom and emotions, they were no different from any other living being.
