He Kuang might have been the young master of the He family, but his life was practically no different from an orphan's. Then one day, a so-called windfall dropped out of the sky and landed right on his head.

His father had arranged a good marriage for him.

Lu Jinzhi was the head of the Lu family, young, accomplished, and strikingly handsome. He Kuang wondered, "We're strangers. Why would a young man like him agree to marry me?"

Then he overheard the conversation between his father and Old Master Lu.

"Once they're married, let the young couple live happily together and work hard. I'm looking forward to holding a grandchild!"

He Kuang suddenly understood. "So 'may you have a child soon' wasn't just an empty saying."

And so, every night: Should we try for a baby?

Three months later, He Kuang was pregnant.

Lu Jinzhi: I'm incredibly efficient.

Later,

Lu Jinzhi watched their adorable son and He Kuang, weak and hospitalized, and felt his heart ache.

As He Kuang watched Lu Jinzhi rushing around to care for the baby, he heard a line from a TV drama: "Never let a child become a burden. A loveless marriage is doomed to end in divorce."

He Kuang nodded solemnly: Exactly, and the sooner, the better.

He had a wife and a son, but before Lu Jinzhi could enjoy domestic bliss, he found himself staring at the signed divorce papers and their wailing son.

Lu Jinzhi: My wife and kid are right here, so why did you run off by yourself???

Content notes:

Pregnancy fic! Some men can get pregnant.

The pregnancy and baby are part of the plot; the child is not treated as a mere tool.

Marriage first, love later; sweet romance, happy ending.

Xu Jin openly loved and pursued Lu Wenqi for four years in college, only to get the same answer before graduation: "Sorry, you're not my type."

He'd expected it, and graduation season had him swamped with internship work. Xu Jin decided to put love on hold for a while and take a break from pursuing Lu Wenqi.

Then a variety show invited him to work as a photographer. The footage he shot not only made the show's stars famous, but also brought his own identity to light. He became even more popular than the show's other celebrities.

Lu Wenqi, a guest appearing on a variety show for the first time since taking over his company, couldn't avoid being filmed by Wen Jin's camera. But as the shoot went on, Xu Jin couldn't help asking:

"President Lu, we're not shooting a magazine spread. You don't need to show off your abs."

"President Lu, your partner for this episode is over by the sofa. Just look at camera two. Why do you keep coming over to the photography area?"

"President Lu, this is work time. We're busy. We can talk about personal invitations later."

Watching Xu Jin's slim figure walk away side by side with another man right under his nose, Lu Wenqi stubbornly fiddled with his phone and invited him out. "Meet me in the parking lot tomorrow. I'll drive you to work."

Later, as Lu Wenqi watched more and more people gather around Xu Jin, saw him grow busier and noticed that he hardly ever came to see him anymore, he refused to admit he was breaking down. One night, drunk, he knocked on Xu Jin's door and said miserably, "Xiao Jin, do you still want to pursue me? You don't have to anymore. It's too hard. How about I pursue you instead?"

Xu Jin: "?"

"A coworker told me that men are only three-tenths drunk after drinking. They act until you cry. I can't trust a drunk's words."

Lu Wenqi: "..."
