2nd lead Syndrome

List of shoujo manga, manhua and manhwa that gave me 2nd Lead Syndrome. 
My 2nd lead Syndrome doesn't only involve me wanting The MC to choose them instead of main ML. 
Some of them are just because they are the 2nd lead who got heart broken and i just want them to not be sad or cry or feel pain and get over MC and be happy with someone else.... if possible

It is one of the biggest betrayal in my life..... big enough to give me trauma too.
I got deceived by Cover and Tag(there was no shoujo tag before only shounen ai).
My Choi Yowoon..... Don't cry over a guy who left you .

I shipped the wrong ship.... so yeah
MC X Knight ( i am so fucking weak towards ML being, Knight or Servant or Bodyguard).

Ps: how would i have known he wasn't main guy as the main guy was pretty much not given much importance before and only got more screen time with MC, later, when MC already decided to choose my guy route. Plus, the main guy also almost killed MC at their 1st meet.

Thankfully, i ship the right ship this time but this author fucking making me waver with giving us Romantic moment between MC and the knight guy who's not the endgame ML (just found out). If this goes on..... by the end i'll definitely be having 2nd lead Syndrome.

Huge 2nd lead Syndrome for EUGENE.
This is the one where pretty much everyone gonna have this problem..... though might be different for some people. In my case, it is Eugene.
Before even the reveal of Male lead face, the author gave us all sweet romantic moment, making other guy fall for her.... especially Eugene. He has fallen too deep for her and though i am ok with Main guy (as i shipped him with FL knowing them being endgame CP), My heart really breaks for Eugene.

I haven't read this and i probably won't...... got the spoiler
I am sure i would love the ML if i read it but since i saw the ending (accidentally) in video, I am more for 2nd lead vampire guy. How can i not..... after what he did for MC happiness at the end yet MC never notice him for him......... My heart pains for him.
Even though he get to stay with the MC at the end, it's not happy but bittersweet ending for me.

Not really a 2nd lead syndrome but similar i guess.
I feel pity and sorry for crown prince. He ain't actually an asshole like i though he was, though he did wrong his girl for whatever the reason and got karma (Girl leaving him) which he deserve But lowkey, i was still little bit hoping for them to end up together because he does truly love her. My heart break seeing him so miserable and still in love with her, I wish he had a happy ending too and was not left alone.
