Shitty MLs/Families regret (Shoujo)

The whole family is trash. ML has problems expressing his feelings cuz he's a tsun. Istg imma start fire and burn all the characters in here.

FL is so pitiful and misunderstood all the time, w no one to depend on or speak to. She transmigrated from an abused prev life only to land in another domestic abuse family wtf.

SPOILERS:
She ran away, ML regrets big time not expressing his love sooner and starts actively protecting her when she came back (AS HE SHOULDVE)

6/10

Very popular manhwa, not entirely revolving around angst or pain. Cuz FL in here aint one to suffer, she's the one serving repentence to all the garbage OG MLs. But I put this on the list cuz it includes shitty crown prince (FL's ex-fiance) regrets treating FL badly and him realising what an asshole he was.

5/10 great story on its own, not the best one for angst

Quick transmigration, so several arcs with different stories and characters. FL is trasmigrating into characters who died unjustly and seek justice for them (usually villainesses, cannon fodders). Most arcs usually have ML regretting not treating the MC/villainess better blah blah. But FL gives no fucks and world hops away once her mission is done.
5.5/10

Title: Please divorce me (KR)
[ONGOING]

ML likes his best friend's wife. His best friend died in battle while saving him. FL fell for the mentally broken ML and decided she'd give him love. Marriage happened, and the one sided love continued for 2 years.

SPOILERS:
FL got enough and ran way, ML starts to crumble down, realising he had taken for granted the only person who was there beside him all this time. She was no longer there.

10/10 - very lengthy regret from ML

Emperor ML regrets neglecting empress FL and not being there for her when she was abused. Decides to turn back time using magic after her death.

6.5/10

Transmigrated empress FL, emperor who hates her guts, white lotus concubine. Usual palace harem drama.

[SPOILERS]
He was enjoying his happy time with his concubine when FL got kidnapped and "died" like wtf? Idc how he regretted and suffered after her "death".

Despite how she's a "strong" FL, she just *takes* the abuse and even *acts* like she's infatuated with the trash to *seduce* him. Sis why u gotta stroke his ego?

2/10 just no

Empress FL and Emperor ML were childhood friends, got married with FL's one sided love and ML's promise that he wouldn't cheat on her even he doesn't love her. So the marriage is basically neglect and miscommunications. One day, an illegitimate child appeared. FL was pregnant, but she honestly got so fed up she asked for a divorce. Then she ran away to another kingdom to hide her and her son. ML realises he loves her when she left, goes crazy trying to find her.

7.5/10

Berry wanted to be popular. Mandarin (BF) doesn't want that. So he decides it's better to dress as a girl (he's prettier than her), take away every boy near Berry, put her down and give her some trauma. Honestly both Berry and Darin are *imperfect*, they're both toxic asf but as the story unfolds you get to see some character development.

Really flipped me off reading the first 30 chaps.

5/10 - equally shit ML and FL

ML wasn't as shitty as others on the list, he was just cold and distant due to his *bad childhood*. It's a slow burn romance. But before he starts realising his feelings for FL, he's terrible towards her and hurt her feelings. (FL is a cutie, she doesn't deserve this!)

Tbh, it's a really sweet love-hate relationship. Just added cuz ML later regretted treating FL badly in earlier parts of their contract marriage.

7/10. Not enough angst, but sweet story
