Duanmu Huai has always believed that there's no problem in this world that cannot be solved with money and violence. If the problem isn't solved, it's because there wasn't enough of one of them.
Strictly speaking, Sakurajima Mai's photo shoots are a separate job and have nothing to do with "Jintian" — but that depends on the interpretation.

It's like the character from a pure-love anime appearing in a humiliation book; if it's fan-made, it's somewhat acceptable, but officially, it's indefensible.
