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 laughed loudly from her perch on the octopus's back, thoroughly enjoying the moment as Lania Kaia Pine Bloom was humiliated.

There was nothing particularly wrong with the phrase Pine Bloom had used, but Rita could tell—her reaction meant it wasn't something she personally liked saying.

If she had owned it with confidence, others might have been caught off guard by the sarcasm. But because her discomfort was so obvious, it just made the moment all the more ridiculous.

Marmang-Crab was also laughing hysterically. "Damn, I wish I could see Lania Kaia Pine Bloom's face right now!"

Once the laughter settled, the crab's expression turned serious as it considered the special event "Is This Even Your Restaurant?"

After staring at Rita for a while, its gaze turned slightly critical—then resigned, before finally settling into quiet acceptance.

Rita narrowed her eyes. "Spit it out."
