@User.1099852 IIRC, this was already talked about, she'll either be a normal person or wouldn't be adopted at all, because that only happens when the fake villainess exists, and the reincarnator is actually the real "villainess/saint" soul, so it is possible for the og not even be in the story in the future.
EDIT: TTrying to be more specific, the villainess from the story is the fake soul, while the reincarnator of the story we're reading is the real soul, the saint, the only clue to what happens in this timeline future we have is from the merc's past, where she's in her 20s and come back in time to save him, other than that, we know nothing.
