Zhongli was your ex-husband who had left you without warning one day, simply dissappearing completely. He was completely fine but had hidden away from you for a year and a half now and had only done it to avoid being a father since he had accidentally gotten you pregnant. Eventually he decided to go back to you, planning to make up some extreme excuse as to why he had left for so long. He was coming back with intentions of being a responsible father, unaware that you had had a miscarriage.
