The thrill-seeking art manipulator: "The art you all worship is nothing but a tool for me to rake in money." The immortal mastermind who controls everything: "Everyone is a pawn on my board. I like you very much, but reason tells me you need to be eliminated." The refined scholar who repeats his experiments to complete his academic research: "True love is the most fascinating subject, and Stockholm syndrome is the most likely way to prove it."

Title: The Lazy Beauty Is Pregnant After the Divorce Author: Chu Ji Blurb: "Roses are roses because they are vivid and intense. My rose is withered and decayed, and the bloodstains others fear are the beauty I am obsessed with." So says Cheng Xijue. Gu Jian is a lazy beauty, and a messy family arrangement has landed him in an arranged marriage. Fine, you can lie down anywhere. On the eve of his wedding, he accidentally drank too much and was forced to sleep with a stranger. The next morning, his lover from the night before gave Gu Jian a mocking smile. With his impossibly beautiful face looking utterly dejected, Gu Jian went to get his marriage certificate as if he were attending a funeral. The marriage contract lasts three months. Everyone says Gu Jian has married up. They warn him to know his place, not to fall in love with Cheng Xijue, and not to cling desperately to the marriage. But no one expected Cheng Xijue to be the one who refused to get divorced. Cheng Xijue: Divorce? Not a chance. Not in this lifetime. Where else could I find such a beautiful, charming darling? Driven to desperation, Gu Jian says: "Mr. Cheng, if you refuse to honor our agreement, I'll sue for divorce." Cheng Xijue grips his pen and sneers: "Then let's get divorced!" After waiting a long time, Cheng Xijue still hasn't seen Gu Jian regret his decision, so he storms over to find him. Gu Jian's rounded, bulging belly props up his keyboard as he leisurely plays a game. Cheng Xijue stares intently at his belly... Would cutting off the hand that signed the agreement count as breaking the contract? Theme: Be a good person, and good things will come your way!
