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

When it came to the future of humanity, Eclipse Vanguard worked fast.

The very next morning, Shadow.Q arrived at Rita's villa—again, bright and early—with their formal offer.

Every time a player enters the game, Eclipse Vanguard will pay you five SSS-tier skills.

We'll renegotiate the terms every three months."

Each player could enter the console twice a month. Which meant Rita would receive ten SSS-level skills per month.

Considering she'd already tested [Reality Bleeds Into Game] the night before and confirmed that skills learned inside couldn't be brought back out, this offer was surprisingly fair—far better than she'd expected.

She had honestly doubted Eclipse Vanguard could offer her what she truly wanted.

Gold coins? Sure, they could throw millions at her—but to Rita, those meant almost nothing now. Her daily expenses were already fully covered by her monthly cut from The White Family.
