Skip Beat! inverses the trope in a pretty fun way - the guy is a complete A-hole, and the girl spends the whole series trying to get revenge on him by becoming successful in his business. But the awesome thing about it is that she eventually realizes that her relationship with him was indicative of a larger problem of hers - lack of a self-identity. So the story consists of her trying to find herself, because her entire life to that point had consisted of her trying to please others instead of having any real sense of self. It's kindof nice to have a shoujo manga that is fundamentally NOT about the romance angle - it's there, but the real story is Kyoko's development as a human being and in her career.
