The Villainess’ Wise Retirement Plan Chapter 85 has been released. Darkness spreads across her face as she takes in the garish mansion, the pitiful pawn dumped before her. This is how her retirement plan begins – a fate worse than death itself. For Lillian, notorious villainess of the popular game 'The Demon King's Consort,' being reborn within its virtual walls feels like a cruel joke. Her existence tied to a terminal affliction, every magical burst draining what little time she has left. And yet, reason prevails amidst chaos: abstain from using magic entirely, hoard her dwindling vitality, set aside savings, and flee with her devoted sister to idyllic coastal towns. Her eyes narrow on the wheezing bundle thrust upon her – the would-be hero doomed to succumb to madness as he clings tighter to his treasured beloved. That desperation stirs something deep within Lillian. She will neither surrender nor be destroyed by forces beyond her control. Seduction might prove the most enticing poison; manipulating those around her could replenish her declining stockpile of life force while keeping their love lives entangled in knots. At least one thing remains resolute: that utilitarian smile seared onto her lips won't fade anytime soon. In the intricate dance between deliberate asceticism and sentimental indifference, this brave exit strategy unfolds quietly – none willing to see through the chasm that lies beneath, veiled behind her cottage roof.
