+100000000000000 to this. Side Character Transmigrations is all about ridiculing and pulverizing all of the ridiculous tropes of CN novels, from white lotuses to retarded scheming families to young masters. Sheng-ge (MIGHTY IS SHE IN BREAKING SHIPS) just trolls the ever-loving hell out of the world!MLs and world!FLs while taking puppy hubby for walks.

That started out sooooo well but nosedived when author-san turned F!protag into the usual shoujo weakass, CEO-like creepy ML attracting delicate flower.

Yes. Most C-romance stories here are focused on author's self-satisfaction, so they are kinda littered with hollier-than-thou revenge fantasies, power trips, characters showering praises on MCs, MCs become romance interests one way or another with anything wearing pants while acting innocent.
To avoid boredom, you could try some real tragedy stories on this site, authors are quite good in understanding human psyche and know how to self-restrain for decent story-telling.

I don’t think I’ve read a story like the one you’re describing. If you hate the above kind of plot, might I recommend “Perfect Fiancé”? MC is indeed rich, but there’s little of the family drama you’re describing. And the story seems mainly focused on the romance.
