Guys

DUDE FOR REAL, so much manhua displays toxic relationships and I'm NOT into it

I recommend 'Miss not so sidekick' though romantic development is so long the story is very entertaining with a quirky MC

FAM. I. GOT. YOU.

I’ve been reading these types of stories a lot and I gathered a few favorites (that I actually go out and buy because they are that good). I’ll give you the titles they go by on mangago.

This Girl is a Little Wild (is on hiatus/is canceled?? Can’t find any confirmed info on this, but is well worth the read and has a completed novel series because the couple is ADORABLE.)

Bring the Love

My Husband Hides His Beauty

Survive as the Hero’s Wife

A Villain is a Good Match for a Tyrant

I’m a Villianious Daughter, so I’m going to keep the Last Boss (pretty sure that’s not how you spell villainess, but that’s how it is on mangago. Also is the only manga on this list, the rest are manwhas)

Now those are my all-time favorites.
Other stories (manwhas) that aren’t exactly similar to this but are still super good are

College Student Empress (based in ancient China/Korea instead of an European setting. The ML (?) is an ass hat but GIRL POWER BRAH, also the MC knows he’s an ass and likes messing with him.

I’ve Become the Villianious Empress of a Novel (the love story isn’t exactly the focus of the storyline right now, BUT EXTREME GIRL POWER. Also the person who is probably the ML is really sweet.)

Please Throw Me Away (the heroine has to go through a lot of upsetting abuse, but the ML she is going to end up with is super amazing and respectful. She just isn’t with him in a romantic way yet.)

The Justice of a Villianious Woman (strong MC and great ML, just the politics intrigue in the story is amped up 100% more than in this story. Also is a suuuuupppeeerrrr slow burn, but is worth the wait.)

Beware of the Villainess! (All about girl power and putting abusive and creepy men back in their place! Super funny too! Just the romance hasn’t started yet with the MC. The ML I want her to be with is SO SWEET AND ADORABLE!)

idk if it’s that similar, but my personal fav is akatsuki no yona, in the beginning fl is super dependent on the ml,

Just re-read your comment.
TRUST ME, I have read plenty of manwhas that were super toxic but the ones I have listed as my favorites are 100% not that.

how is college student empress not toxic lmao

Also for the predictable aspect, they might be predictable as in, I think they are going to have a happy ending. But the storyline that gets them to that happy ending are super interesting. Of course, that’s just how I feel about them, you could feel totally different! (Sorry for all the replies, I just super love the stories I’ve listed as my all time favs. )

Yeah, that one might not 100% fit the criteria
But the toxic stories I hate are where abusive traits are seen as romantic or the ML is abusive, but the MC just keeps hoping they will change.
I see the Emperor as super toxic, but unlike a lot of other stories the Empress knows he’s like that and isn’t expecting anything else out of him.
Honestly, I’m just there for the storyline and the Empress’ and Lady Lyn’s friendship.

So true.

Thank you

Thank you sooo much!
