Xu Guizhou had been frail since childhood. At eighteen, he learned that years ago, his family had arranged a marriage for him to keep him alive.
A master had said that he and his intended were a perfect match, even though their birth charts clashed and they shouldn't meet. The divination showed that the match would bring him good fortune.
So while Xu Guizhou was unconscious, the Xu family dressed him in a princess gown, claimed he was a girl, and tricked a young master from City A into signing a marriage contract.
Xu Guizhou refused to acknowledge the marriage.
He'd signed it wearing women's clothes. What did that have to do with him, a man?
Even when he went to study in City A, he never considered contacting the fiance he'd never met.
Unfortunately, on the first day of university, as he asked his roommates their names, the cool guy in the neighboring bed, the youngest of them all, spun his phone in his hand and sized him up for a while before saying three words: “Song Juanxi.”
Song Juanxi. The fiance whose name was written on the marriage contract.
Xu Guizhou: ...
He didn't want to acknowledge the marriage, but his fiance wasn't about to let it go. Out of nowhere, he asked, “There isn't another person named Guizhou in the Xu family from S City, is there?”
Xu Guizhou had no answer. Then a voice suddenly spoke inside his head. It was his twenty-six-year-old self.
His twenty-six-year-old self said his fiance was a domineering, controlling lunatic. After finding out he'd been tricked by the cross-dressing, his fiance had confined him for eight years, keeping him trapped in bed day after day until he had to ask permission even to use the bathroom.
Just then, his nineteen-year-old fiance politely knocked on the metal bed frame and reached in to give his cheek a gentle pinch. “You awake? Class starts at eight. Hurry up.”
Xu Guizhou: ...?
His twenty-six-year-old self said his fiance had peculiar tastes, always making him cry until he was half-dead. He was a pervert.
His fiance, who had just turned twenty, was feeding him ice cream. They were tucked away in a corner of the library, where his fiance fanned him with a little electric fan.
His twenty-six-year-old self said his fiance was moody and unpredictable, wouldn't let him see other people, and treated him like a plaything. There was no love between them, only lust.
His fiance had secretly gone looking for a sex guide out of curiosity. In the middle of the night, he rolled over, grabbed Xu Guizhou, and declared they should study it together. “How can I take care of you if I don't learn?”

Song Juanxi was straight, at least until he entered university.
Because of the marriage contract, he told everyone he had a beautiful wife and would marry her once he was old enough.
But after waiting and waiting, all he got was a man with the same name as his wife.
Sure, he was gorgeous, with fair skin, a pretty face, and long legs.
But he was a man!
He was about to confront him with a cold expression when he suddenly heard a more mature voice.
It was his twenty-six-year-old self.
That voice said Xu Guizhou had died at twenty-six.
He didn't have a wife anymore.

But then again.
You can't live without a wife. Man or not, he could accept it.
“Nice to meet you, Xu Guizhou. I'm your fiance, the one whose birth chart clashes with yours, even though we're a perfect match.”
He didn't care who their birth charts clashed with. Song Juanxi would never let go of the person destined for him.
