Description
When Old Beast runs into Bad News, it’s not love; it’s karmic dues. A certain bottom encountered two s*um tops in a row, one worse than another. Ex-ex-boyfriend had a pair of slender peach blossom eyes and was a master at getting around. In the month they were together, there were twenty-seven days of cheating. Yup. In February. Of a common year. Ex-boyfriend was a 190cm, big-dicked, looks-chasing male chauvinist. After they slept 18000 times, he pulled up his pants and said, “To tell you the truth, I have a virg*n complex.” Before leaving, he even tossed out, “Oh, right, too much c*m makes poison, you be careful now.” The bottom cried his eyes swollen. Slapping the bed with gritted teeth, he decided to get revenge. Hence, he used ex-ex-boyfriend’s photo to seduce ex-boyfriend on social media, exchanging nudes and flirting aggressively every day. Ex-boyfriend sent the bottom polite invites to come do it 108 times and was blown off by him 108 times. Lying alone on a huge double bed in a hotel, as he jerked himself off lonesomely, ex-boyfriend gritted his molars and seethed, “One day. One day, I’ll do you.” Then, one day, the two tops ran into each other in a bar.

My Thoughts on Paying Dues
Alright, let's dive into "Paying Dues." After spending some time with this novel, I can definitely see why it has a solid fanbase. It's a fun ride, filled with humor and a surprising amount of heart. It's not groundbreaking literature, but it delivers exactly what it promises: a lighthearted and entertaining danmei experience.
First Impressions
The premise alone – ex-ex-boyfriend tries to hook up with ex-boyfriend as revenge – had me chuckling. I was immediately drawn in by the chaotic energy and the promise of a bickering couple dynamic. The initial setup is definitely unique and sets the stage for the comedic rollercoaster that follows. The description of the leads also piqued my interest: a tired, cynical older man and a seemingly simple-minded, rich younger guy. The contrast is ripe for both humor and romance.
What Works Well
The biggest strength of "Paying Dues" is undoubtedly its humor. The interactions between Wen Xunchuan and He Linzhou are hilarious, and their dynamic as "enemies to lovers" is executed really well. I especially enjoyed the fact that this is a switch couple; it adds another layer of complexity and spice to their relationship. The author does a great job of writing engaging s*x scenes that feel natural and contribute to the overall story.
I also appreciated the lightheartedness of the novel. There's minimal angst, which makes it a perfect read when you just want to relax and enjoy a story without too much drama. The side characters, like the dog that becomes part of their lives, add to the overall charm and warmth of the story. The author's writing style is also quite good, making it easy to get lost in the world and the characters.

While it may not be a groundbreaking masterpiece, it's definitely an enjoyable read that will leave you with a smile on your face. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
