Let's Get Divorced After Turning Thirty

The Huo family patriarch consulted a fortune-telling master about his grandson, Huo Zheng. The master said that Young Master Huo would face a major calamity at thirty, and that he had to marry someone whose birth charts were compatible with his before then to get through it safely. Huo Zheng thought it was all feudal superstition, utter nonsense. But Old Master Huo grew so worried that he wasted away, and Huo Zheng finally caved under the pressure. From a stack of photos of potential marriage candidates, he picked the one he found most pleasing to look at. Huo Zheng was only doing this to appease Old Master Huo. He had no intention of keeping a marriage with no foundation of affection for long. After discussing it with his marriage partner, Lin Jiayi, the two reached an agreement: they would stay married for a year, and as soon as Huo Zheng turned thirty, they would get divorced. One year later... Lin Jiayi: Huo Zheng, you're already past thirty. Let's get divorced. Huo Zheng: I'm not! I haven't! I'm only three years old this year, still just a baby. You can't abandon your baby! Lin Jiayi: ... -- ◆ Huo Zheng is the gong, Lin Jiayi is the shou ◆ Alternate setting, where same-sex marriage is legal ◆ They marry first, fall in love later ◆ A toilet read.
