Opening
Hey, do you still remember Xie Yun and Zhou Fei from The Legend of Fei, with their 10-year age gap? One is a roguish handsome youth of the martial world, the other a stubborn chivalrous girl just starting out—on screen, the two standing together can make you scream with just their eyes. In 2020, this CP swept the internet, and everyone asked: where does this 10-year gap come from?
No need to guess—BaZi told us long ago. Wang Yibo was born in 1997, the Ding Chou year, with Day Master Ji Earth; Zhao Liying was born in 1987, the Ding Mao year, with Day Master Wu Earth. Both have the year stem "Ding," like two flames burning; the day branches Mao and Xu form a Six Combination (六合) transforming into Fire, tightly bonding their magnetic fields. Let me give you the conclusion first: this on-screen CP's destiny compatibility grade is "upper-middle." It doesn't guarantee a real romance, but on screen, that spark is definitely not just acting.

First Cut: Day Stem Relationship
One is Ji Earth (Wang Yibo), the other is Wu Earth (Zhao Liying)—both Earth, and in a Rival relationship. The name "Rival" sounds a bit fierce, but in compatibility analysis, people of the same element resonate most easily. Earth is the great land, representing steadiness, practicality, and resilience—so in The Legend of Fei, although Xie Yun and Zhou Fei have contrasting personalities (one glib and witty, the other calm and resolute), at their core, they are both the type who "once I decide, I never let go."
It doesn't matter that there's no Five Combination, because the essence of Rival is "same qi attracts"—like two colleagues who appreciate each other, no need to cling deliberately, yet they can let down their guard in front of each other.
Second Cut: Spouse Palace
This is the most dazzling part of the entire chart. Wang Yibo's day branch is Mao (Rabbit), Zhao Liying's day branch is Xu (Dog), and Mao-Xu Six Combination transforms into Fire. Spouse Palace Six Combination is the strongest magnetic field among all compatibility patterns, meaning that when the two stand together, even if they do nothing, people around them can feel that intangible chemical reaction.
The transformation into Fire is even more wonderful—Fire generates Earth, nourishing for both Earth Day Masters. On screen, Xie Yun and Zhou Fei went from mutual disdain to mutual care, didn't they? That Fire is passion, trust, and the unspoken understanding of "I'm here."
Third Cut: Overall Combinations and Clashes
Both year stems are Ding, which is Peer same qi. Ding Fire is like a lamp flame—not fierce, but lasting and bright. Both have shared worldviews and values. In The Legend of Fei, Xie Yun and Zhou Fei are both willing to sacrifice for the righteous path of the martial world. This isn't just script setting; it's the underlying nature of "Ding year people" in destiny.
But the month branches have a small issue: Wang Yibo's Wei (month branch) and Zhao Liying's Xu (month branch) are in a Punishment relationship. Wei-Xu Punishment affects family and sense of responsibility. On screen, it might not show, but if they were to be together long-term, their paces regarding family or career might differ—one wants to charge ahead (Zhao Liying Strong Self), the other needs stability (Wang Yibo Weak Self). This is precisely why it's upper-middle rather than top grade: there is complementarity, but also areas needing adjustment.
Fourth Cut: Narrative Feature (CP Role Contrast)
A 10-year age gap! Many people in real life think it's mismatched, but how does destiny explain it?
In terms of year pillars, Wang Yibo's Ding Chou (Water beneath the Stream) and Zhao Liying's Ding Mao (Fire in the Furnace)—Water beneath the Stream meets Fire in the Furnace, not clashing, but illuminating each other. One is calm in the dark (Wang Yibo Weak Self, needing Fire/Earth support), the other shines in the light (Zhao Liying Strong Self, carrying Fire/Earth energy). On screen, Xie Yun is responsible for being playful and funny, while Zhou Fei holds up the scene—isn't this a portrayal of Water and Fire in harmony?
Moreover, the fate of two "Ding" stems is like two flames igniting in different years (10 years apart), yet intertwining in 2020's The Legend of Fei. Destiny says "same qi attracts." Two people with the same year stem, even with a large age gap, will have an aura of "I understand you"—on screen, this is called "CP chemistry," something acting alone cannot give.
Conclusion
In summary, the BaZi compatibility chart of Wang Yibo and Zhao Liying is definitely worth watching on screen multiple times. The Spouse Palace Six Combination plus same year stem Ding makes their chemical reaction undeniable; but the month branch Wei-Xu Punishment also reminds us that real relationships require more tolerance and understanding—but isn't that exactly what makes a good drama compelling?
