Ml is a terrible fiancé who doesn’t make any effort to make her happy and never initiates contact. Misunderstandings ensue. He’s very clumsy in trying to fix it and fl has decided not to expect anything from him.
Honestly wish he would just be forced to give up and let her live her dream. She wants to study! And work! Let her go, dude!!
Ml marries fl to appease family because he has a lover they don’t like. Fl doesn’t want love, only to live how she wants. They live separately, mostly ignoring each other. Servants love fl. Ml starts noticing how lovely fl is. He starts falling in love.
This sorta fits this list, but it's not really the ml's fault. Fl is in a timeloop of her execution basically. She gains the ability to escape it on her 100th loop, but fakes her death to live in peace.
[SPOILER]
The fl is isekaied into the body of a villainess with her memories and emotions. She decides to turn her back on those who hurt her, but it's revealed that everyone around her actually loves her. They are bad at showing it, or their feelings are twisted, and details are steadily revealed as you read.
Everyone is regretful in this, except her wonderful and loyal maid.
Remilia, the villainess/fl, has her body possessed by Emi. She watches Emi live her life, avoiding a bad end for her because she loved Remilia and wished for her happiness. The original protagonist is a nasty b*tch who lies and schemes, leading to the condemnation event. Remilia reawakens in her body, taking control and vowing revenge.
Honestly, one of my favorite reads of all time. I read it in 2 days, I couldn't stop! It's so satisfying in the end, and Remilia is able to build so m
i’ve gotten used to being on my own so i’m ignoring my fiancé
