No idea. That's what makes the ending great.

It's hard to say, but I like to interpret it as the latter. My main point of evidence was that she had her "scheming" eye on when she told Shichika that.

She wanted to go on living with him, but lied to him in order to try and make him stop caring about her.

She didn't "want" to kill him. She legitimately loved him, but her life was so consumed by revenge that she wouldn't have had a choice. The whole point of the show is the self-destructive path that people who devote their life to a particular ambition go down. The episode with the Sage is entirely devoted to going over the fact that Togame is walking down a path that can only leave her miserable and shattered.

Wasn't a thing in the LN

I'd say it was more like she really did love him and want to live a peaceful life with him, but, part of her was always scheming and pushing her towards her original total revenge goal, and that part saw her relationship with Shichika, real as it was, as something to be exploited. I think she was serious when she said she'd planned to kill him, but whether or not she actually would've is doubtful.

Was it a 'scheming eye'? I thought it was supposed to be more about legacy

She probably didn't want to, but she probably would have ended up doing so anyway. Her whole life was pretty much consumed by revenge — it's kind'a hard for that to stop being a thing.

That's not the scheming eye, that's the truth eye. When she's speaking the truth, her eye turns like that.

Her scheming eye appeared when she said it.
