HOM-9 is a drug that can rewrite the traditional rules of reproduction.
Just as the outside world assumes Shen Zhixu married Yan Qinghe only to serve as a tool, the two of them begin a true-love romance.

Content warnings and recommendations:
The women in this story aren't described as especially beautiful. The focus is more on their personalities and abilities.
For Yan Qinghe's character, I want to portray a woman in a position of power who is also emotionally perceptive. She won't ignore other people's suffering for the sake of her own happiness, and she's always working to address the problems faced by disadvantaged groups in the real world.
The pregnancy storyline comes in the middle and latter parts of the book.
The heroine is 28 and the hero is 22. I won't spend too much time showing their feelings develop from indifference to affection, so although this is a marriage-first setup, they love each other from the start.
A strong female lead means Yan Qinghe won't be the only powerful woman in the story.
The heroine's career includes family infighting inspired by the kind often found in old-school domineering CEO novels.
The story includes a variety of romantic side plots, including BL and GL, but they take up little space and don't affect the main plot.
