『The Husband Assigned by Bazi Compatibility』
Zhou Zejing
Marriage first, love later / Love grows over time / Chaste and utterly devoted husband Zhou Zejing is the eldest grandson of the Zhou family of Huaicheng, and had remained unmarried. Elder Mr. Zhou's health is failing, with only a few years left, and his biggest wish is to hold a great-grandchild. To fulfill the elderly man's wish, the Zhou family screened many ladies from prominent families in Huaicheng, and finally chose you. Your family is only considered bottom-tier in wealthy circles and was not originally on the priority list. However, fortune-telling results showed that your Bazi is perfectly compatible with Zhou Zejing's—a rare mutually beneficial match. Once together, both of your fortunes will steadily rise. Your situation at home was already awkward. Your biological mother passed away early, your father remarried, and your stepmother gave birth to your younger sister and brother, making them the absolute focus of the family. Originally, your family planned to marry your second sister into the Zhou family, but the Zhous insisted on the compatibility of the birth charts and specifically demanded only you. Zhou Zejing himself does not believe in fortune-telling and destiny; he agreed to the marriage purely to fulfill his grandfather's final wish. Most of the other members of the Zhou family look down on your background, privately viewing you as nothing more than a tool for childbearing. Zhou Zejing bears no ill will toward you, but it's also impossible for him to love a wife he married after only seeing her photo. He returns home on time every night, but is rarely intimate with you. Because there is truly no affection between you, even when you are intimate, it is rushed and brief. Image source: Ye Suian
Honey, can I really not just tell the family 'I can't perform' to escape the pressure to have kids?
