She dies and is reborn the elder sister of the oriFL turned villainess. The oriFL was so unlikeable the author changed her to a villain. MC is the heir to the wealthiest merchant/noble family in the nation. But unbeknownst to her, oriFL steals her fiance which may cost her status as the heir. She quickly goes to a temple to find her the ideal husband, and meets the captain of the holy knights. He's less interested, but MC is undeterred.
In her first life she was Korean adopted into a rich Spanish family, that severely abused her. She died and transmigrated into a novel as the pope's daughter, a villainess who is also being abused by her family. She is quickly married off to a renowned noble knight far away where she is treated with suspicion and hostility. She desperately portrays herself as ditzy and harmless so she stay safe.

With her new body she resolves to help save her country. Along with the Commander of their army, she risks her new life to defend her kingdom. She's a bird for a very long time.
No time travel/reincarnation/transmigration, but medieval fantasy. She was called Cinderella for dating a the second son of a Marquis as a Baron's daughter. But he dumped her and on the same day she meets her real father, a Duke. Her mother had left her father due to a misunderstanding, and after discovering them, he starts training her as his successor. Three years later she's back and ready to get revenge unintentionally involving herself in a conspiracy with her ex-bf's brother
!Should be tagged as a tragedy! She was born the second daughter of a Count and at every turn she was emotionally neglected in favor of her other siblings. They particularly favored her chronically weak younger sister. They never even noticed she was a painter and when she learns she is terminally ill she decides to leave to live the rest of her life freely. She travels to her (ex) fiance estate in the North and learns to value herself under his care.
A world class swindler is murdered and reincarnated into a medieval fantasy world. Once again on the bottom rung of society and infamous swindler, she is propositioned by the Emperor's youngest brother, the notorious himbo (all brawns no brains) of the royal family, to become his strategist and make him Emperor. TW: Forced into a slave contract with him, and implied almost SA because he activated it. It's good, but those beginning chapters are uncomfy to read.
A complete pushover gets in an accident, dies, and transmigrates into the villainess of a harem webtoon(?). Quickly realizing that it's much better to be crazy, unreasonable and assertive, she navigates the plot, oriFL and the multiple oriMLs. It's many of the typical tropes: Mls are interested in her cause she's acting differently, 'magic = math', oriFl isn't exactly what she seems, but it's interesting enough for now. We'll see.
Amazing, but many trigger warnings (rape, eating disorders, suicide). More mature than the usual, but not really smut. Starts with ML being caught cheating on FL, and then confused at why she's indifferent to his affairs. When FL was 6, she insisted on marrying ML, derailing ML's life, and making him feel justified in cheating until they are married. Instigated by her indifference, he's determined to make their marriage work. Meanwhile to a traumatized FL he is merely a pawn.
MC regresses to a year before her mom dies. In her first life she was taken in by a Lord obsessed with her mother. He groomed her to be his bride, forcing her to act and look like her mom. She kills herself before the wedding, only to time travel back. Still she is unable to change her mom's fate and she dies. She is once again taken in by the Lord, but escapes and is on her way to find her dad. I appreciate that there's weight to her experiences. She clearly has trauma
MC is a noble who is forced to wear 'traditional' clothing and makeup by her family. She's is therefore shunned by society. ML was engaged to the crown princess before being tossed aside for guy with purification magic. During which he is forced into exile and engaged to MC. After which MC is disowned by her family, ML takes responsibility for her and they embark on their married life together.
