    Hello. I'm looking for Romance Novels that shows the MC being the cold / cool arrogant one and the love interest is a ray of sunshine/annoying/fun, not necessarily pure/kind. It's the lead that's usually cold or serious one. And if there's a fun happy go lucky love interest, theyre almost always the second lead.

    So I'm looking for reccs

    - MC could be male or female.
    - Modern romance, XianXia, Wuxia, etc are alright.
    - I dont like harems or reverse harems.
    - I'm ok with BLs.

    This sounds interesting I'm going to lurk.
    I'm thinking that some typical quick transmigration novels might fit.

    'Thousand autumns' is a good one. Ml is quite cold in this one.

    You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman - MC is an undead who transmigrated to earth. So he isn't that familiar with human emotions. It isn't a harem as of now.
    However it seems like it'll not be more than 2/3 women at max.

    Yea... No. It starts with MC not giving a fuck about ML but once they get their shit together ML turns rapey and MC becomes that weak and annoying thing. As far as novels go, TMR is one of my greatest regrets since it starts really nice...

    I would recommend Hyouka but the romance is not really very prominent (though it still exists so give it a try).

    I Reincarnated as a Noble Girl Villainess But Why Did It Turn Out This Way? would most likely fit your requirements...except for the fact that the male lead probably hasn't been introduced yet. (Who knows what type of person the male lead will be, but if the girly prince turns out to be the ML then he would definitely be a ray of sunshine for her. Actually, anybody would be so in front of this manly MC. lol)

    OH and this! Observation Record of a Self-proclaimed Villainess’ Fiance. I keep forgetting that the ML is the MC here. It's just common for the reincarnated villainess FL to be the MC so I always automatically end up forgetting that "No! The ML is the MC here!". Anyway, this fits perfectly!

    Try these out and see if they suit your fancy. The second one as I said I'm not sure about since I don't even know who the ML is, the romance is starting really late in that one. It's just a hunch to me that whoever it might be they'll end up balancing out the MC's cool and gloomy side with their pure and innocent side.
    Then there's also Kenkyo, Kenjitsu o Motto ni Ikite Orimasu where the MC is a cold and perfect poker faced person on the surface but inside she's a silly goofball. This one also has a slow romance so not sure who'll be a ML here either, but my hunch tells me that the person who'll be the ML will probably be the proper cool and aloof type of ML that puts the MC's acting to shame...but I could be wrong for both of these. Anyway, this doesn't seem to be the type of novel you're looking for so you don't need to bother. (But it's still one of my favorite villainess novels so it's not bad by any means at all.)
