I'm looking for yuri or shoujo ai with a "against expectation/cliche/canon" romance so like the heroine and villainess or one where the love interest at first thinks the MC is going for some guy she's close to, but it's her that the MC is interested in. Or one where MC is an unimportant side character and the heroine protagonist falls for her. Or yuri/shoujo ai quick transmigration. So something like I Favor the Villainess or Villainess With a Cat Changing System. I'm fine with translated, original, fanfic, manga, etc. I just want it to be complete or at least active. Too many GL are left incomplete.

Sorry that I couldn't answer this yesterday. Was having a bad day and I couldn't think of anything to recommend. Stories: "The General’s Manor Young Concubine Survival Report" - Completed. MC wakes up in a cliche hate-to-love novel where she's a woman hired to break up the leads, and thus fated to suffer as their love grows closer. She decides to take the FL instead. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-generals-manor-young-concubine-survival-report/ "I was summoned as a saint, but why is the kingdom only throwing men at me" - A short story written for last year's writing competition. The country tries to pair the summoned saint with a man, but she runs away with a woman. https://forum.novelupdates.com/thre...is-the-kingdom-only-throwing-men-at-me.89040/ "The Perfect Day" - The winner of last year's competition. This one is a little more of a stretch, since it's a world where yuri is permitted, but it breaks the conventions of those "wakes up as someone else in an ancient world" novels in several refreshing ways. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/46910/the-perfect-day/ Manga/Comics: "Not So Shoujo Love Story" - This one isn't "active" right now, but only because it's being moved to the official part of Webtoon. It will soon come back (from the start) with regular updates. Plenty to read right now, though. It's about a tomboy who's actually a big fan of shoujo manga and wants her life to be like one. She has a crush on the most popular boy in school, but everyone thinks that he suits being with the most popular girl. The most popular girl actually likes the the tomboy, though. https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/not-so-shoujo-love-story/list?title_no=178073&page=1 "Protagonist x Rival" - This is a Japanese manga with a similar premise to the one above. In this one, the popular girl really is mean to the MC, but it turns out to be because she's annoyed that the MC is fawning after someone else and not noticing her. This is a gag manga where the rival only flirts through threats so, although the premise is similar, the tone is very different to "Not So Shoujo Love Story". This is the original Twitter version: https://mangadex.org/title/42309/protagonist-x-rival-pre-serialization And here's the recent new serialisation: https://mangadex.org/title/47818 "Hero-san and Former General-san" - This isn't about breaking the typical "fighting over a man" cliche, but it's a parody of Kamen Rider where one of the villains becomes the sidekick of the hero for yuri reasons. (The "becoming a sidekick" thing isn't unusual at all for Kamen Rider, but it's different if you're not familiar with the series.) https://dynasty-scans.com/series/hero_san_and_former_general_san
This, one of the love rival villainess Meng Qianyao (?) Ended up with random female passerby MC knows MQY likes FL, FL thinks MQY likes MC, and MQY thinks FL likes MC. It's a bit complicated hahahah. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/ah-senior-brother-is-actually-a-sister/ This one, in later chapters, MC doesn't know that FL loves her, she think FL loves her because she loves the food mc makes. It's breaking harem type story, so you will find many against expectation when you met other harem members and how they interacted with mc. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/transmigrated-into-a-smashing-asura-girl/
