Idk though... I read the raws and they put emphasis on the girl next to the female lead. I think our MC is trying to get the female majesty to like her so she and her entire family won’t be killed again.
But that’s just a theory cause I don’t know Korean ¯_(ツ)_/¯
In the Shadow Queen the prince is the ML if you didn’t know.
True. But she is still badass. The prince is kinda pathetic but also not that bad.

I’ve already seen spoilers after someone made like 5 different posts spoiling the novel. The prince is one of my fave ml’s tbh.
Do you know a novel or webtoon where the ML is not the Prince or King AND who isn't a cruel abusive murderius bastard?
Beware of the Villainess!, The Blood Of Madam Giselle, Survive as the Hero's Wife, The Pet of the Villainess Webtoon, that’s all I can think of right now. Where the ML’s are not princes or kings.
I also know and love these empowering stories ^^, well except The Blood Of Madam Giselle - Not my cup of tea but still well written.
What are you talking about? The ML is from Survive as the Hero's Wife is a prince.
Also The Demon King Wants to Die, (the “king” is actually a female), I Raised Cinderella Preciously, When the Villainess Loves, The Princess in the Dumpster, My Husband Hides His Beauty, Under the Oak Tree, I've Become the Villainous Emperor of a Novel, My Sister Picked Up The Male Lead, Ebony, The Lady I Served Became a Young Master
Oops- my bad
I see we have similar tastes ^^
Under the Oak Tree; My Sister Picked Up The Male Lead AND The Lady I Served Became a Young Master are not exactly that empowering or progressive. My opinion.
I like also to recommend Cheerful Countess Sisters, Charlotte + her five disciples and Kingdom Of The Queen.
And Please Throw Me Away, I Saved The Cursed Duke, The Villainess Lives Twice, Beware of the Red Thread, The Evil Lady's Hero, Miss Not-So Sidekick, The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes
I’m going to read Charlotte and her five disciplines after it’s done. I think it’ll be a fun binge.
I also very like Daisy - How to Become the Duke's Fiancée (Weak normal relatable girl becoming stronger and cunning) and The Lady's Butler (Second Male Lead gets the right girl^^ ^^ ^^)
With "Please Throw Me Away" you need a lot of patient with the story and MC because it takes very much a lot of time for her to get more radical with a real spark of anger.
I am not fond of "Beware of the Red Thread" because MC gets easily overpowered and literally kidnapped.
And "Miss Not-So Sidekick" is a little too stupid for me + I hate cruel overpowered MLs who can do whatever they want and only spare those that caught their interests.
Ah, right I forgot that Arwin is a bit cruel lol.
Another recommendation:
The Stereotypical Life of a Reincarnated Lady
Red haired bored self aware overthinking reincarnated MC
Asian Lady from another world who is a badass martial artist and 43 years old
And another antagonistic lady who has a crush on the ML and is super fast and strong
The ML is cute because he has no social compentence or emotional intelligent - Very awkward and hard working
The way I see it Arwin treats MC as a toy and she can't do much against his antics or control. She always has to please him which is a very unfair imbalanced power dynamic.
I’ll give that one a try, thank you!
You re welcome! I think this webtoon indirectly does make fun of isekai or reincarnation romance tropes.
I hate it break it to you all but didn't the long title and summary says it all?
That story will very likely follow a very similar route as The Abandoned Empress and Lady To Queen.
Another shitty Ml that killed the MC in the 1st life...
Let me guess it was a misunderstanding; he had a terrible mother/father, he was drugged, manipulated or cursed... And the FL/MC forgives that jerk at the end...
I am very tired of these absurd excuses for a bloody cruel tyrant ML!!!
Who in their right mind would forgive and love a murderous sadistic scumbag who killed you and your loved ones?!
I rather prefer Shadow Queen and A Villainess Lives Twice.
