💭 This is ranked (as much as possible) by the male white-haired character's level of "male leadness" and since this is more or less a stack of romance manhwas, the criteria we're going to go with is that they should be the main love interest or endgame for the female lead.
💭 Therefore, there will actually be manhwas listed here that features the white-haired character as a second/third/etc. lead, support role, or in general just doesn't apply to the criteria we're following above. Don't worry as I'll be very specific about it as possible to prepare you for the heartbreak.
💭 The MLs' name would also be mentioned. The manhwa's synopsis would also be added right after so if you don't want to see any of that, I would recommend switching to tile/seasonal view.

[ above all else,, i really just need a compilation list of white-haired male leads for research purposes and not because i have a personal bias for silver mls (i do), 'tis all :> pls ignore me thank u (o_ _)ﾉ彡☆ ]

Here I put some of the romance manhwas that I love and some even have a few similarities, types like Historical (Duke/Duchess, Prince/Princess, Empress/Emperor, King/Queen, Lady), Villainess/Villains, Family, Magic, and a few modern ones...

AKA: Lady knights in rofan webtoons.

For now... no mercenaries on this list, even if they act noble and knight-like (sorry Cassmire).

Message for any missed series; I tried my best ;-;

of course this would all be hella messed up in reality, please call the police and get a restraining order or something if your partner is ever this insanely possessive over you. but in the world of fiction, let us just enjoy these messed up, psychotic, handsome men 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

note: there are countless series with yandere MLs out there, so this list is just full of ones i actually enjoyed and would recommend to others

i also have a spotify playlist for dark romance: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1K22SLBmjJLUQlnPoiwg8l?si=e8699ae6cf8f4b21

Under the Oak Tree [상수리나무 아래] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★☆ 4/5
• "I'll cut off a head for every bruise I find on you... *sees her scraped knee* This just sealed their death sentence."
• extremely overprotective and possessive; incredibly hot-tempered
• will kill anyone who harms even a single hair on her
• the art is chef's kiss!!! i'd also recommend the novel this was adapted from if you wanna read the full smut scenes that weren't included in the manhwa
• tags: historical, drama, fantasy


Chaotic Nights [폭야] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5
• "Should I pluck out your eyes and tongue? It might be better to cut off your private parts and feed them to the dogs... because you're recklessly passionate about something that belongs to me."
• kills others without mercy and hesitation just to have her
• the series is rather new so i don't have more to say about him for the time being
• tags: historical/korean period era, drama, smut 🔞


I’m In Trouble Because The Emperor Thinks I’m Terminally Ill [황제가 나를 시한부라고 생각해서 곤란하다] - manhwa; shoujo
• yandere rating: ★★★☆☆ 3/5
• "Please don't leave me... No matter, even death cannot take you away from me."
• will literally lock her up to keep her with him
• tags: historical, fantasy


A Kind Goblin's Bird [상냥한 도깨비의 새] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★☆ 4/5
• "Did he lay his hands on you? Did you cry a lot? I will cut out his tongue, and gouge out his eyes."
• it was love at first sight for him- the moment he laid eyes on her, he was prepared to risk it all
• goes on a killing and torturing rampage to eliminate anyone who has ever hurt her. zero mercy, he won't grant them an easy death; he wants them to suffer as much as possible
• FL is one of those weak and naive types which i would normally hate but it's valid for her case because of her abusive upbringing and she's just really struggling with ptsd. there's a moment where she's able to fight back and i'm proud of her for it
• ending felt kind of rushed and unsatisfying, wish there was like an epilogue or something :/
• tags: historical/korean period era, angst, drama, smut 🔞


I'm Dating A Psychopath - webtoon; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5
• self-explanatory title lol
• tags: thriller, drama


The Yandere Magician Can Only Love The Statue Maiden [ヤンデレ魔法使いは石造乙女しか愛せない] - manga; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5
• "I'll make her need me... with every fiber of her being... for eternity."
• the age gap in this one is different because they meet when she is 24 and he is 12, and then later on he becomes 32 while she's still 24, so... it's up to you whether you feel comfortable with that or not. but i can guarantee that FL is not a groomer and had no romantic feelings towards ML when he was still a kid!
• he's got very valid reasons for becoming as obsessed as he is with FL tho ;-;
• yes he's a yandere but he's a good boi i swear
• ...all the good deeds he did just so he could build FL's vision of paradise for her to live comfortably and happily in... ahh love
• tags: historical, fantasy, age gap, angst, drama, smut 🔞


The Beast Within [야수의 성] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5
• "I love when she cries like she wouldn't know what to do without me. More. I need more. I need her to be so delusional she doesn't realise she's living in hell on earth. But I will be there with her. Forever."
• warning: DUMB FL but delicious smut
• another tall, dark and handsome yandere with glowing golden eyes
• and i know i said the FL is dumb af but you know what... i'd gladly reduce myself to a brainless doll for this toxic man any day bc just look at him
• has plot but i'm just here for the smut if i'm honest
• tags: historical, fantasy, smut 🔞


The Bondservant [집착은 다정하고 집요하게] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5
• "Maybe I ought to kill him... Maybe I could sell him off. Or maybe I could give him a low dose of a lethal poison to make him insane."
• he has black hair and glowing red eyes- exactly what i'd expect to see as a visual representation of the perfect yandere ML
• FL is actually equally as obsessed with him; guess it's what trauma bonding does to the both of them
• a yandere couple that's willing to kill to protect each other <3
• tags: historical, fantasy, drama


Forbidden Odd Melody [금수별곡] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★★★ 5/5
• "I'm going to put something much more precious in this cage, so it can never escape."
• a beautiful murderous tiger man i am very much attracted to
• i could stare at his face forever
• very protective over his little fox lady
• tags: historical/korean period era, fantasy, drama, tiger!ML x fox!FL, smut 🔞


In The Doghouse [황궁의 정원에는 개가 산다] - manhwa; josei
• yandere rating: ★★★☆☆ 3/5
• "Should I have them killed? Command it and it shall be done. As for the charges... well, we can always fabricate something. Who was the one who offended my master?"
• ML is secretly a super masochist and falls in love with FL because he witnessed her reprimanding her shitty family one time and it gave him a boner bc he wished she would hit/yell at him the same way HAHAHA
• but despite being a submissive boi begging to be stepped on by his beloved, he will not hesitate to kill anyone who disrespects or hurts her
• FL IS SO FUNNY IN THIS; she didn't know about S&M play and BDSM stuff before knowing the prince so her reactions to his masochism are hilarious
• she's constantly battling her inner thoughts, going from 'are you for real right now, you enjoy this?? what is wrong with you' to 'omg he has a face of an angel tho <3'
• tags: historical, royalty, BDSM/S&M, femdom, comedy, smut 🔞
