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

All the players returned to the food street just before the competition began. Some casually found a place to stay, some flew in the sky, and others simply stood on the streets.

Rita kept a watchful eye on the players nearby without making it obvious.

Rita: "I need to constantly scan everyone approaching me, especially players with thieving skills. Alert me the moment one gets close."

This was her second line of defense. Her first line was her most trusted skill, [Sinful Act]. Thieving skills were also considered ambush tactics, and Rita knew how terrifying such skills could be. She was aware that S-class divine talents weren't unique—once you progressed further, they would change according to each player's traits and soul attributes.

She couldn't be certain whether a skill that could steal divine talents might one day be used against her.
