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 obvious mockery enraged the helm. It spun through the air toward the lantern, which didn't back down. They were both SS-rank relics now—what, was it supposed to be scared of getting one-shotted?

And so, the helm and the lantern chased each other around Rita, bumping into her repeatedly as their knobs and handles smacked against her.

Face dark, Rita asked, "Are you two doing this on purpose or what?"

Nivalis snorted. "This is what happens when you keep dragging things into the house! You said you could play outside, just don't bring your mess home. And now? Look at this place—it's chaos!"

Rita muttered, "...Did you switch from the entertainment section to the relationship column lately?"
