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

Fat Goose was definitely getting back at her for the curses—or maybe because she had chosen Maple Syrup over him when she was looking for allies.

Rita clutched her chest in mock agony. "So, they're just causing chaos for fun?"

"Yeah." Lidian was still scrolling through the Battlefield Chat, clearly entertained. "Isn't that enough?"

She shared what she saw. "Since they've lost their game qualifications, they've got nothing to lose. They're just griefing—but under Maple Syrup's leadership, they're doing it in an organized, disciplined way.

"They don't attack the mechanical race or touch the Safe Zone shops, just mess with the players—stealing diamonds and ore, then bailing right before the Safe Zone triggers special events."

Rita: "What do you mean 'dirty'?! That's called tactics!"

Nivalis squinted at her. "Since when did you start defending Maple Syrup?"

Rita: "I'm just stating the facts."
