Yeonseo, who hides a personal secret, is put in a position where he must pay off his late father’s debt.

Then one day, a suspicious man named Tae Shinju appears before him. Tae Shinju says he wants to interfere with the business of his half-brother, a reckless loan shark, and makes a move on Yeonseo, saying that he will manage Yeonseo’s debt from now on.

“Be with me. If you cry under me, Mr. Park Yeonseo, I will give you ten million. If you curse, twenty million. If you cry and curse, I will give you fifty million.”

Shinju proposes to pay a high price for a night with Yeonseo. Yeonseo tries to think of him as just another loan shark, but he is drawn to the strangely kind man’s offer and ends up making the deal. And he gradually finds himself becoming immersed in the pleasure and the unexplainable tenderness that he provides…

Firstly, these chapters are LONG. So while there are six chapters out, they took me at least 2-3 days to catch up to.

Giving my honest opinions on this, I wasn’t sure how to rate this because I think I had different expectations going into this than what I received.

I’d say 80-90% of this is pure smut. You can even skip full chapters and miss none of the plot cause it was all just smut. I was actually disappointed about this because I’m honestly more curious about the story LOL. Also,... more>> if you’re uncomfortable about non/dub-con then stay clear of this! In general, a lot of this is kind of brain empty smut (eg trying to ignore unsanitary practices like putting what was in the back into the front, doing it when MC is asleep etc).

However as I mentioned, I’m actually more interested in the little plot the author does give us haha. It’s strange because it’s not really mentioned in the summary in great detail but a lot of the ‘plot’ for this story revolves around finding out about the toxic environment the MC grew up in which then explains his attachment/attraction to the ml. Because different from other “pure smut” novels, the ML is actually generally pretty nice (unless when he’s pissed off lol) - actually doing a lot of foreplay, doing aftercare and cleaning the MC, as well as saying more generally nice compliments (besides all the bullying in bed). However don’t misconstrue this as meaning the ML is a good person because he is certainly NOT (remember MC is essentially selling his body and ML is fully using that to his advantage to get the MC to do things he would’ve never have agreed to otherwise). As such, I like how there is an actual reason why the MC comes to like him (as it is shown that he craves warmth and affection that he never really got growing up). But would I read this novel solely for this? Nah lol.

idk, if you want a lot of smut - go ahead? Like idk if it’s good smut but there is a lot of it lol. I wouldn’t say this a bad novel but it’s not good either I think? <<less
