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

After leaving the backyard, Rita gave the gaming duo a quick knock on the table.

Rita: "...That's your home. Don't you want to report back after finishing a game?"

Nivalis kept mashing buttons, completely distracted. "I mean… not really."

Teenage rebellion, web-addict edition. Didn't want to talk to Mom. Didn't want to go out with Mom either.

Rita: "...Pine Bloom has spoken more than 10 times in the battlefield chat. I'm going to Lidian to collect what's owed."

Nivalis instantly paused the game and grabbed her console. "Let's go!"

B8017913: "...Can we wait 8 minutes? I just need 8 more minutes to claim today's first event reward."

Rita immediately softened. "Oh! Yeah, okay. That's important."

Nivalis plopped back down too. She'd woken up at the same time as B8017913, so she was probably close to her own reward window.
