Any historical/fantasy romance manhwas where the ml hates, or hated the fl
- "How to Survive as a Maid in a Horror Game", i don't know if he HATED her but he did try to kill her and she was terrified of him for a while, also very angsty outside of the main couple so if you like angst you might like this. The story is that the girl gets reincarnated into a horror game she was playing where the maids are being killed by the charming young master of the house (ml) and she has to survive;
- "I'm A Stepmother, But My Daughter Is Just Too Cute!", she got reincarnated into the evil stepmother and her husband used to hate her, not very angsty tho so yk. Also this one kind of uses children's tales and incorporates them into the story (Little Mermaid, Cinderella, etc) and might have a yuri side couple (they're certaintly not straight but one of them can change genders so, they're also not together yet);
- "Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess", you probably have read this one has it is literally the second most famous shoujo on this site but I'm going to assume you haven't. The fl gets reincarnated into a visual novel she was playing as the vilainess (the game's hard mode). this vilainess kept getting killed by all the characters so that's where the hate part comes from but he doesn't really ever hate her, but he does attack her once.
- "The Tyrant's Only Perfumer", i haven't read this one in a while so might be a bit wrong, but the mc gets reincarnated as a villainess that makes perfumes and the original fl was like obssessed with the ml and he hated her altough he becames quite in love with the mc later, besides that i don't remember much but it was good and i believe angsty;
- "Cat in the Chrysalis", again I wouln't say he HATED her but he did ignore her for quite a while even though she likes him so very angsty, probably the second most angtsy one here (first place will always be Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess, I cried like 12 times reading the novel and the manwha);
Now since you like angst, here are some very angsty ones even though the ml never really hated the fl:
- "As The Heart Leads", a girl who can see spirits gets reincarnated into a noble girl abused by her family (not physically) and strugles with the loss of her identity and sense of self (because she had to become a new person, Hailey). the ml is also surrounded by spirits that are trying to kill him and the girl is trying to protect him at the expense of her health and he doesn't even know her real name ╥﹏╥) my current fav;
- "For My Abandoned Love", fl gets reincarnated into her favorite novel but not in the beginning in the side stories and has to see her favorite character (ml) kill himself because the original fl chose another and called him a monster, she goes back in time and does anything to protect him (still starts in the side stories so after he became suicidal) very angsty;
- "How to Get My Husband on My Side", also extremely angsty, very close to Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess if not worse. fl reincarnated into a girl destined to be killed by her husband (the story is still here as he literally never hated her neither in the original novel or the reincarnation) after she killed his sister. fl is extremely abused by her family both in previous and new life, and multiple people she cares for die, very depressing cried loads reading it
Anyways, Happy reading (or angsty i suppose) (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

- I Became the Tyrant's Secretary
- Miss Not-So-Sidekick (absolutely recommend this one)
- The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion (it was good until the bullshit plot twist)
- May I Ask For One Final Thing? (another one I’d totally recommend, though the MC did not transmigrate)
