@ignore my existence would ya? I think The Tragedy of a Villainess fit this description, tho you prolly know this already, but it was the 2nd ml that mc tried to be with bcs in the og story, og ml and og fl lived together happily in the end while the now fl (villainess then) and 2nd ml both died bcs they loved the og ml and og fl, so in the second life (?) Mc got engaged to 2nd ml but he ended up marrying the btch og fl, mc would've died if not for the og ml marrying her indtead.
