Trash ML decided to get a queen while still infatuated with his concubine. FL came back in time from future and replaced her sister from becoming queen. ML was constantly trashy, publicly siding with his sideho and ignoring the FL.
ML falls in love with FL after opening about his past. His "infatuation with sideho was not love". But he realised he done too much harm to her, and she despises him. She makes sure to rub it in his face that she dislikes him whenever he acts nice.
9/10
ML is a wizard who needed a purifier so he wanted to make FL fall for him. He knows FL will run away otherwise. He seduces her, says affectionate words without meaning them and wouldn't hesitate to kill FL if she wrongs him. FL knows this.
SPOILERS
FL decides to run away 5 years later. ML realises his feelings, cries, begs her not to leave and confesses his love. FL doesn't believe him. She's heard enough empty words of love from him.
6.5/10
Toxicity level here's higher than chernobyl. ML *SOLD* FL to slavery because "he can't be distracted from his goals". Later regrets when he finds FL and decides he wants to make it up to her, even at the cost of the country he's ruling. FL was like no FUCK YOU, bye. But she's conflicted bout her own feelings. :)
9/10 Just as a warning, you'll get the urge to throw your phone at a wall. Will give u cancer along the way.
Novel Title: I don't want to be loved (KR)
[COMPLETED]
ML (king) treated FL (queen) like shit, and cheated with FL's step-sister (ho). FL suicided with the poison given by Ho. Only then ML was like "i loved her all along". Time reversed for FL and she really hates his guts. ML went back in time too, he knows how hurt she was and regrets everything he did. He tries to break down the walls she built around herself.
10/10 - 0 communication skills
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
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
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
