Hi junruzhu
There are two ways to connect existing domain (Either by mapping your existing domain or transferring your domain) to your WordPress.com site.
Mapping your domain to your WordPress.com site
-This method connects your domain with your WordPress.com site, but the domain continues to be registered with whomever you initially purchased the domain from. You would continue to pay them for the domain renewal.
Here is the support document for more details on domain mapping :
