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

With most of her tasks wrapped up, Rita sat on the couch, spinning her revolver—Dull Game—waiting for midnight to arrive.

In her mind, she cycled through a stream of thoughts: "This Divine Game will be easy." "This Divine Game will be hard." "This one favors me." "I should join." "I shouldn't join."

Then she raised the gun, aimed it at herself, and pulled the trigger multiple times—until that familiar voice spoke:

"The choices you make by instinct will shape your destiny."

She felt one of her thoughts being quietly pulled away.

The thought: "I shouldn't go to this Divine Game."

Rita stared at the revolver in her hand, a look of pure awe in her eyes.

Foolishness—a bullet that filters out flawed thoughts. It didn't just judge right and wrong; it could, in a roundabout way, predict the future.
