Cliche but Subversive. Or Cliche but Well-Done

I'm all about tropes, but they got to give me a bit more than JUST tropes. The order may not be super accurate. Started as sort of review summaries, now it's mostly spoiler summaries. 

Tropes:

 Transmigration (Isekai)
 Reincarnation
 Time Travel

(Villainess, Otome Game, Medieval Fantasy, Contract Marriage, Magic, etc.)

The Villain's Savior

 9.2(306 voted)
Complete
Author(s): Myeong rang,Jaessun
Genre(s): Josei / Drama / Fantasy / Romance / Tragedy / Webtoons

She falls in love with the tragic antagonist of a novel and then transmigrates into it as the sister of the FL. Aside from the typical aristocracy fantasy, people have soulmates and when they meet their soulmates they receive a mark. There are basically horrible physical consequences to disregarding your soul mate. MC unfortunately has the mark but the ML does not. It doesn't stop her from wanting to be with him. And he's kind of a psychopath from his childhood abuse.

Everything was a Mistake

She transmigrated into a novel she didn't fully remember as a villainess and ends up hugging the wrong thigh. Who she thought was the ML was actually the main villain. By the time she realized it was too late, (unbeknownst to her) he's been reformed and in love with her. It should be cute, but she's basically terrified of him the entire time. All while the FL is her bestie and trying to save them all from him. I really liked it at first, but you start to feel so bad for him.

The Investigator of Mueller

 9.1(506 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Kiarne, Ssol
Genre(s): Webtoons / Fantasy / Mystery / Romance

If I remember this correctly a young maid is unwillingly entrenched in the sudden and mysterious disappear of her fellow employees, while also being forced into a love triangle she wants no part in with the suspicious new employee. The mystery would be more interesting if she had more agency. But she doesn't have any social power and basically can only hope for the best. Even afterwards she (and ML) is restricted by her social position. Kind of reminds me of 'Emma'.
