@Mewling Thanks for the spoiler, I won't bother with this anymore. It's a shame, the ML seemed quite nice at the start, and the MC assertive enough to not fall victim to a toxic ML. I wish the author had just gone the expected route and made it a cute story about a contract relationship gradually turning real, with lots of fluffy moments. Of course it's clichéd, but I never get sick of reading those kinds of stories.
