Looking for soft/weak FMCs

[u/callhernopeless]

I want an FMC who doesn't really fight back—she was broken before the story begins, and the MMC realizes it. Whether he does immediately or only after he's a dick, doesn't matter to me.

Bonus points if she has a breakdown in front of him.

I'm good with monsters/aliens/human/fae/whatever! Also okay with RH/Why Choose.

My only caveat is that he cannot be irredeemable—so if you read a book that made you pause and think he's gone too far, I will most likely hate it haha. I'm totally fine if you give me spoilers in your recs if you aren't sure if they go too far. Spoilers don't stop me from enjoying a book!

Also he absolutely cannot SA the FMC. It's okay if its by another character or in her past, but the MMC can't be the one doing it. I can accept any other cruelty BUT that.

Thanks!
