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.

The conveyor belt resembling a rotating sushi bar had a switching track feature that functioned like high-speed trains, and it was quite random. This meant that even the discs on the left and right were not fixed in place. With frequent track switching, you could end up changing neighbors three times within ten minutes.

Luckily, Octopus Bucket and Marmang-Crab were holding their ground. Plus, since this was still the first phase of the competition, most players were still conserving their energy, with only some light banter going on.

Rita focused on her cooking, not letting the chaos distract her. She knew the last hour would be when the real battle would begin, so she planned to complete the three most difficult dishes first.

Although the completed dishes couldn't be stored in her bag and had to be placed on the cooking station, she didn't worry about them spoiling over time, since Octopus Bucket had advanced preservation skills.
