On the surface, the premise feels distasteful. He's acting like a cad because he's a mangawimp who can't be honest with his feelings. And she's acting like she has given up on herself. The relationship is based on a miscommunication and it feels like a poor foundation. She believes she sold herself into sex slavery, for goodness sake.

And then the premise is that all the toxic surface stuff does have a sweet, creamy interior. He actually loves her, and is helping her with her debts. And she gets to be with the best possible sex trafficker she could find.

It's just... I dunno if we're supposed to find it funny or dark. We'll see how it develops, I guess.

I just don't see it as dark or toxic. It's just a win-win situation. A normal relationship minus the verbal confession.

I think this wants to be funny.
They both love each other. That happened in the wrong way, but they seem both happy with it anyway.

Are we gonna get standard emotional growth? This feels more like its meant to be a oneshot about how money solves everything.

Uh— I feel like saying “selling yourself due to debt” -> “win” feels wrong. While he may be “winning” (although it feels bleh a bit), she’s forced into it without any other options.

Wdym? Debt settlement + high paying job + good living conditions (if they're living together) + Being considered as hotshot company president's lover. Just take it as all those lovers contract manhwa out there.
