google isn’t helping AT ALL. I will preface the synopsis by saying it’s a !! TERRIBLE trash manga that is full of awful stuff !! I don’t recommend it, it should be burned…. BUT if I can’t remember the name I think my brain will explode.

so the stylization leads me to believe it’s a much older manga and it’s about a ML who is rich (possibly noble ? it felt like it took place in an older time period) and he buys the poor & abandoned FL who is an alarmingly young girl. I’m pretty sure they made a big point about her being blonde and beautiful but because she looks so different/‘foreign’ she thinks she’s ugly. her mother comes back into her life only to try and get money from the ML at some point. he’s extremely toxic and abusive and I’m pretty sure he has a weird doll that looks just like her in a room he doesn’t want her in. his friends are v predatory in the plot, too. that’s all I can remember. thank you :’))
