Romance Manhwa where the main characters need an ability from each other

This Romance Manhwa list contains 5 Comics, where the female or the male lead need some kind of ability from one another to feel better. The number one spot was very clear for me: It’s flirting with the Villain’s Dad. Yerenika may be weak but she is really funny and tries her best to save everyone she knows from the original novel. The interactions between Euredian and Yerenika are very sweet and start very early. With numbers two and three I was not quite sure.

I love My red string of fate, especially because I like the world and Abel is quite shy, although he is possessive. There aren’t as many chapters, so we don’t know how this will play out yet, that is why this is number three for me. With “I was tricked into this fake marriage”, you have to wait pretty long for some Romance to show up, but nevertheless, their backstory is quite intense. I hope you enjoy these five recommendations.
