4/10
Title: Our Second Master (CN)

Tables turned his whole family went bankrupt and he got disabled. All his servants ran away while the ugly maid stayed beside him despite the troubles... but she wants to leave him once he gets better.
9/10 - short story
Typical "can't communicate but I love my wife" ML misunderstood by the FL, FL with post-partum depression who was trying to escape from her parenting responsibilities. Then FL got a terminal disease and realised she never spent time with her son.
Time rewinds and she decided to give all to her son, but her son is uncomfortable with the sudden change in his mother's behaviour. He keeps treating her wrong... then regrets when he learns of her illness
4/10
FL suffers under her husband and twin sister's schemes. Technically, the husband doesn't regret what he did (actually he doesn't even think he did anything wrong, that's the kinda asshole we're dealing with). Instead, FL got her revenge, trash suffered from her retaliation and went crazy.
So this aint for ppl who came for ML's tears, it just had similar premise of *abused FL got enough*.
3/10. Might remove from the list later

Was out on a hunt for read ml regrets and found thus list
This is my favorite list!! I love when the shitty ml regrets the most
Ooooh, you should also add My Beloved Oppressor! ( ╹▽╹ )
I just read this manhwa you recommended and i was jumping up and down from anger cuz wtf?!!!
Thank u for ur recommendation, i had a good anger tantrum session ๑❛ᴗ❛๑
Lmao, I wanted to share my agony
Lmfao the descriptions!
my ass and stomach hurt from laughing from this shxt damn this is a good list
The vulgar words to describe how the fl rejects the ml's repentance is so cute AHAHHAAHAB
Re: For my abandoned love
(Cuz I've received 2 messages saying I should rate them higher)
It's a 6 or 7 max for me. (But again, it's my opinion, and if you disagree that's fine, move on.)
There's not much angst involved when FL was already willing to forgive ML's initial neglect bc she liked him so much, he's her bias. There's guilt from his part, and then a slow slide intp romance, but never a crawling for forgiveness, which is all what regret and this list is about.
This list here is for *angrii* and *yess crawl more bitch*, neither of which the manhwa successfully provided.
The ratings are solely based on angst and satisfaction from seeing regret, not how good the story plot is, which I've explained in my descriptions. Please read the description b4 slandering :(((
I agree! The most satisfying stories are where the ML is begging forgiveness and the FL MAKES THEM EARN IT
Bro For my Abandoned Love deserves an 8+/10 rating, 5/10 be wildin, can't trust whoever created this list
Omg I love how similar we rate things! I was trying to look for something new to read but sometimes ppl rate stories I love badly but I read your description in stories I loved and it’s like I’m reading my own! I love when I have similar opinions to others bcs it feels good to see others think the same! ^_^
Most ppl find angst frustrating so they rate it bad ahahha. For me personally, the angrier it makes me, and the better the begging scenes get, the higher the ratings go (=・ω・=) i will never know if im a masochist who likes to suffer or sadist who likes to see shitty MLs suffer
YESSSS YOU UNDERSTAND!!!
Loved how you rate angsty stories
Honestly i could do this as a side hustle as this point professional angst reader
I love this list! I love a good angst read, hopefully more can be added as I've read most!
Hahahah I see a serial angst reader
