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

Eclipse Vanguard's methods were ever-changing, and it wasn't something Rita needed to worry about, so she didn't speak further.

Once the items were confirmed, Shadow.Q placed the gold coins on the table.

It wasn't much, just a handful of various items—plus the umbrella type—amounting to only 5-character gold coins. Although they had joked that all of Eclipse Vanguard's funds had flowed into Rita's hands, everyone knew it was just a joke.

Given the uncertainty of whether items from another world would work in BS, Eclipse Vanguard couldn't possibly spend too much money on them. And they certainly wouldn't issue an open-ended check to Rita, allowing her to buy whatever she liked with the promise that Eclipse Vanguard would cover it all.

If the divination results hadn't been so positive, they wouldn't have bought even these 5-character gold coins worth of goods.
