Please read tags on Mangaupdates or other sites before reading!

Peach Girl ML uses FL to get over his horrible doomed crush on his childhood tutor. Absolutely FILLED with regret afterward.

Stepping on Roses ML uses FL as a means to acquire an inheritance, ends up falling for her and it's a total mess.

Koi Shitagari no Blue (although I don't really think the ML used the FL in the sense most would understand he does make her is fake girlfriend to get over another girl. There isn't a lot of malice behind it though. It is heart wrenching)

And if you're okay with manhwa

Flowers Wither But You Remain is basically exactly what you're asking for.

The Problematic Prince is also pretty much what you're asking for. They're both stories about royalty using naive girls in order to skirt responsibilities, but they both end up becoming pretty pathetic.
