Maybe the manga "A Villainess? No, a Heinous Young Lady" will fit your tastes then. Though he's not the mc (the mc is a girl), but he seems to be a capture target and the ml...
Thank you so much for the rec, it was great (just wish it had more chaps though)
The one i read is not otome. But mage.

If you’re into this premise, I actually found a manga just like this, called “it seems my lady is the villainess with only a bad end, so I’m thinking of saving her”!

I know a novel that fits that description. It's called "I Appear to have been Reincarnated as a Love Interest in an Otome Game" and can be found with googling. It was pretty good as far as I remember. Maybe not as amazing as this one though.
I really like the idea of a self aware ML, and it was done brilliantly here. I wish there was a manga about a reincarnated ML tho! When the MC is a dude, they’re never reincarnated into otome/novel worlds where they’re the capture target.....
