    Hi all!
    I’m Looking for any novel with either a female protagonist or a yaoi tag about when the male lead doesn’t love the protagonist at first but later on starts to regret how he treated them.
    Requirements:

    ML already had someone he loves/ just treats the protag badly in the beginning

    Protagonist gives up on him which makes him realise how much he loves them

    Yaoi/shoujo/josei

    A few examples of what I’m looking for:
    Intoxication
    The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir
    Empress Running Away with the Ball (not Male lead but close)

    Thanks for any replies ☺️☺️

    This comrade is right. This is hella bitter unrequited love. I never want to re read this novel ever again. The angst is real
    For Yaoi tag, maybe you can try :
    1. The Decade of Deep Love
    2. Gaze at the Scenes of Debauchery
    3. Childish Flower
    4. Waiting Until 35 Years Old

    For Female Protag tag, maybe you can try :
    1. Unrepentant
    2. One Night, One Day, One Year, One Lifetime
    3. Falling Dreams of Fang Hua
    4. Mulberry Song

    Thanks everyone for the recommendations! Are there anymore that are 50+ chapters? I’m looking for slightly long novels that are mostly finished XD
