"What kind of fortune does the young friend wish to have told tonight?"
Lu Heng asked with a smile.
"Sigh!"
Upon hearing the question, Wei first sighed, then replied, "Daoist priest, I want to know about my future relationship issues."
"My girlfriend and I met through a matchmaking event; weâve been together for more than six months now."
"Just last month, in front of our friends and family, we got engaged."
"But the longer weâve been together, the more I feel sheâs not quite right for me."
"Sheâs from a single-parent family, with a stepfather, and two siblings who are not biologically related to her, a brother and a sister."
"When things are good, sheâs gentle and considerate, always going along with whatever I say."
"But when sheâs angry, she turns her back on me faster than flipping a page..."
The viewers listening to his story started to send comments.
"Well, kids from single-parent families can have quirks in their personalities; just be understanding."
"Yeah, where do you find someone whoâs gentle, considerate, and completely obedient like those perfect fantasies? Pure self-deception."
"Wah wah wah... Stop already! Iâm crying, isnât that enough?"
"Every home has its own difficulties!"
"A stubborn personality can be overcome!"
"Nobodyâs perfect, can you guarantee there are no flaws in your personality?"
"If you love her, youâd naturally accept her flaws."
"Exactly, if you donât love her, youâd find everything wrong with her."
"Like the old saying, if it works, get married, if it doesnât, cut your losses quickly."
Wei looked at these comments and shook his head gently.
He continued, "Iâm not a fan of smoking, whether itâs a man or a woman."
"But just a week ago, I discovered she was secretly smoking behind my back."
"And I found out that whenever she said she was meeting friends for a meal, she was actually off to play mahjong."
"Also, after we got engaged and started living together, she told me it was her first time, yet she was still in touch with her ex-boyfriend before our engagement."
"More importantly, the messages indicated they had slept together."
"However, after the engagement, she broke contact with him."
"Now we both started doubting each other, checking each otherâs phones with no trust left."
Having heard this, the viewers realized things werenât as simple as they seemed.
"Well... these flaws seem somewhat bearable."
"If you really dislike her smoking, just tell her and help her quit!"
"If it were me, Iâd go play mahjong with her."
"Damn, can you stop being such simps? Itâs really disgusting!"
"Where are all these perfect ladies coming from? Itâs all thanks to these groveling toadies!"
"Smoking, join her! Mahjong, join her! And if she gets back with her ex, help push them together?"
"36! All thatâs left is six!"
"She broke it off on her own; what are you dwelling on, shrimp-head guy?"
"Come on guys, doesnât everybody get it? Itâs just an ex, whatâs the big deal? Keep dwelling on this and that, and Iâm speechless!"
"Honestly, Brother Wei, your fiancée has a habit of lying, and after marriage, it might be hard to get the truth out of her."
"Better break up now! Who likes being deceived all the time?"
"Break up, cut your losses!"
Wei gave a bitter smile and continued, "Iâm not done yet, listen up!"
"Three days ago, we went shopping, and she insisted on eating spicy hotpot."
"She was on her period, which isnât great for oily, spicy food, so I advised her not to eat it."
"Then she got mad at me and hasnât spoken a word since."
"On the way home, she said she wanted some space and left on her own."
"Worried sheâd have an accident, I followed her and saw another man pick her up."
"She only came back home by noon the next day and voluntarily showed me her phone to prove her innocence."
"I found many parts of her chat history with that man were deleted."
"We had another big fight over this; now she doesnât answer my calls, and when we meet, she coldly tells me to get lost and even smashed my phone."
"I havenât broken up with her because my mom is pressing me, and the new home is already renovated, with furniture and all."
"Her mom works away from home, leaving her alone, and my mom treats her like her own daughter."
"Secondly, her wallpaper, her social media, itâs all about me."
"Ordinarily, she also does my laundry and cooking, meeting my standard of a good wife."
"But her affairs with her ex and another man are like a bone stuck in my throat, hard for me to swallow."
"Daoist priest, Iâm feeling extremely stifled and conflicted; should I pretend to be ignorant, or confront her?"
"So today, I want to ask you to foresee how things will turn out between her and me in the future?"
After telling his story in one breath, Wei let out a long sigh.
His face was filled with conflict.
Whether to continue or to let go, he had no clue.
After hearing the whole story, the viewers each offered their advice.
"Wei, I think you should confront her, otherwise, life wonât be peaceful after marriage."
"Why keep a woman like that around, just for the New Year?"
"With her lifestyle, sheâs sure to leave problems behind! Of course, unless you donât mind being cheated on."
"A mess like this is indeed hard to handle. Itâs best to have an open-hearted talk with her."
"You need to establish boundaries together. If she can keep them, there might be hope. But if she canât, you should end the engagement soon."
"Why do I feel Brother Wei will get cheated on after marriage too?"
"For marriage, choose someone emotionally stable. With someone as emotionally volatile as her, she might stir up trouble at any moment."
"To be exact, your values are different! Neither of you will change; part ways sooner rather than later!"
"Hereâs a story from a friend: dealing with someone who turns on a dime will make life miserable, and you canât always be the one to back down. And if sheâs used to throwing tantrums, sheâs unlikely to change."
"Brother Wei, let me share from my own experience. I dated my ex-girlfriend for five or six years. We broke up and she married someone else. But she met her husband fewer times than we went to hotels together. If you can accept this, go ahead with the marriage..."
"I suspect that guy is just a backup. If you think you wonât fight after marriage, fine. But if you do fight, sheâs sure to find that guy again. One or two times might be nothing, but more than that, do you think sheâll remain faithful?"
"If you have a cuckold fetish, feel free to ignore everyoneâs advice..."
