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

The 18th dish was about to involve TingoJE's brain.

As TingoJE appeared, Rita brought up the issue—whether removing half of its brain and skull would affect it.

When the serious matter came up, TingoJE wasn't as volatile as usual. Using its whale bone, it struck the mechanical arm and said seriously, "It will affect my combat awareness."

Rita couldn't help but regret that TingoJE wasn't dead at her hands. If it were, she could've easily controlled it with her Immortal talent.

Octopus Bucket, already covered in several wounds, spoke up: "If you lose control, I'll temporarily possess you. Marmang-Crab, how many minutes can you hold out?"

Marmang-Crab confidently replied, "30 seconds."

Sea Pony crossed its hands over its stomach, bowed in the air to Octopus Bucket and said, "My waste of a pet has embarrassed you."

Rita, Marmang-Crab, and TingoJE all stared blankly.

Even the skills from the nearby plate slowed down by half a second.
