SMUT!!
Two childhood friends starts getting into a physical relationship, but the story doesn’t revolve around that. It has spicy moments but it feels like a genuine connection between the MCs. The FL confesses her feelings but gets rejected because ML is afraid to hurt her and lose her (even though he likes her too).
FL and ML both broke up with their respective lovers, but they actually regret it. Both want their exes to cling onto them, so they make a plan: fake dating to provoke their exes. In the process, they fell in love!
(MCs both have their own businesses and their story feels very different from your typical school/college/working romance story. It shows how they interact with each other without the forced proximity.)

During high school, the MCs happens to meet in a secluded house where she goes to study and he goes to sleep. There is a timeskip of 10~ years after he leaves without explanation because of family reasons. They meet again, FL tries to reconnect with him but ML acts distant because of the circumstances. This may not sound promising but it’s very good.
(FL is so cool, she improves her situation and never give up her feelings. The dynamic with 2ML is also very interesting.
ML plays with FL at first but later ends up actually falling for her. He basically doesn’t take her seriously and “breaks her heart” (her feelings were not that deep, it was more about the disrespect). So she decides to do the same. She uses ML as an inspiration for her writings and approaches him to gather ideas until the end of a writing contest. ML thinks FL actually likes him but then she tries to walk away from him and he gets his own words backfire at him.
Satisfying!!
A chaebol’s daughter decides to live in poverty because of the guilt she feels after losing her parents. FL got 3 man wrapped around her fingers! The dynamic is very cute because the secondML actually liked the ML at first and then fell for FL after becoming her friend (bc of the ML!). ThirdML is a guy from the FL’s past who knew her when she was spoiled. He went looking for her after she disappeared and changed school.
FORGOT
After being reincarnated into a romance fantasy novel, Fl gets killed by the obsessive ML and wakes up back in the modern world. She begins to move on and get used to her life until a guy (who looks like the obsessive ML) gets transferred to her class. FL tries to avoid him but ML pretends not to know anything about their previous life. But turns out not only he knows but that he purposely followed her to be by her side.
FORGOT. have to read again
71 CHAPTERS
FL goes 10 years back in time because of a car accident. She has to rebuild her life, marry her husband again and rescue her pets.
(This is very cute, not too much drama. It all goes pretty smoothly. FL is very confident and mature (thanks to her knowledge of the future). She is very nonchalant!! doesn’t get jealous or worried about anything.)
FL finds out that she has 0 point love, meaning she should be unable to be loved. This proves to be wrong when her points get raised by the ML(???)(and the other ML) and they get in a relationship. Unfortunately he leaves her without explanation and we get a 8 years timeskip.
(The trope sounded so promising and interesting but it all got lost in the way. The story gets drugged and moves for the sake of the love triangle. Don’t know who’s the ML, honestly. Hoping Dohwa though!!)
