I Will No Longer Live As Your Villainess (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 173
Countess Ania was imprisoned. The crime of hiding Pelena was grave.
Imprisoned, Ania seemed to grow increasingly mad as days passed. One day, she repeatedly muttered to herself, drooling profusely until collapsing unconscious. Nothing could calm her. Her beautiful eyes lost their vitality, as if life itself were fading from them. She kept insisting she needed Digenes potion.
“Give me Digenes. Please….”
Countess Ania scratched her own body in agony until, overwhelmed by suffering, she ultimately ended her own life.
An alliance of empires centered around the Polyoid Empire and the Isther Empire went to the Ella Temple. They forced open its tightly locked doors.
When High Priestess Saraph claimed she knew the High Priestess was dead, the true mastermind who had been manipulating the Ella Temple all along could no longer hide and pointed to Pelena.
Those whose mouths were pitch-black were isolated separately. This was evidence they had made a pact with the White Snake. They all shared one thing in common.
“Please give us the Digenes potion.”
Once addicted to the Digenes potion laced with the White Snake’s venom, victims became hypersensitive or anxious. Some even inflicted wounds upon themselves or experienced hallucinations, leading to dehydration, unconsciousness, and ultimately death.
“Since it’s a potion mixed with the White Snake’s venom, perhaps it can be purified using Leaves of the Tree of Life.”
Lorencia’s words proved correct. However, those who recovered from the poisoning had already experienced such intense pleasure that they lost the ability to laugh. Even without being poisoned, they scratched their bodies like Countess Ania until they died.
Though their bodies might have recovered from Digenes addiction, they could never be healed of the addictive euphoria they had already come to know.
Still, some tried to overcome it. Lorencia supported those who struggled to conquer their addiction.
A council was held to decide who would manage the Ella Temple from now on. Many insisted Lorencia, who had received Ella’s power and defeated the White Snake, should become the new High Priestess—but Teishar opposed this.
“Princess Lorencia is my fiancée. Since we are to be married soon, she cannot become High Priestess.”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
