･:*:･ﾟ⋆✦⋆ ML Regrets ⋆✦⋆･:*:･

ML uses MC as a second option until he learns that the guy he loved isn't dead. He gets angry at MC for saying that he died and throws him out. He learns that ex made MC say that for reasons and ML suddenly ''regrets and sad omg''
MC dies from an illness and ML kills himself because he doesn't have the balls to live with the guilt. They time travel and just when MC falls for the alternate ML who doesn't cheat he gets his memories back

ML isn't abusive or controlling, he's the quite the cinnamon roll. It's the other assholes who harass her because she happened to have dark magic

Classic, cold duke of the north suddenly falling for FL who turned from flowers and cakes to a stone cold emotionless cardboard cutout who gets every power known to mankind for no reason. He's not abusive but he did say ''damn, sucks to be you'' when she almost killed herself.

Not that abusive, ML buys MC as a ''toy'' but he tries his best to be nice to him. He later apologizes for treating MC that way.

(ML was quite rough with MC in his first life)
ML is force wed to MC because the empress doesn't want him on the throne. He spends his first life ignoring MC until he was blamed for a crime he didn't commit. He sees that MC stayed until the end and even sacrificed his life for ML. They return to the past and ML is set on loving MC this time. MC does not remember his past life.

No regret, he's abusive but both the author and MC won't admit it. ML kidnaps, immobilizes and sells MC to a basically whorehouse but MC doesn't mind at all. He's absolutely in love with how amazing and selfless ML is despite being introduced in a cringy monologue about hating greedy humans. ML doesn't even regret his actions or want to rescue MC, he just realizes that HE can use MC as a sex slave instead

MC saves ML, ML thinks the rat bastard saved him instead and MC never tries to correct him because?? ML's passion is abusing MC and MC never leaves because how could he find a man this good ever again? it's all revealed at the end and ML says sorry lol and that's enough for MC.

Rec: skip the torture scenes, jump to ML suffering, close the manga before they get back together and imagine MC living his best life while ML is doomed to a ruined life.

Asshole ML rejects MC because of his complicated situation. They meet again years later and ML starts pursuing MC. MC was quite hurt but let ML court him anyways because?? he magically gets over his bad memories.
