Well this is like more tea on top of the mountain of gossip already, so let’s get right to it. TW-actress Michelle Chen and C-actor Chen Xiao have been married for 8 years since 2016 after meeting on the set of the Yu Zheng abomination of the Return of the Condor Heroes and falling in love. There have been frequent rumors of their impending divorce since their marriage, even heated up more after they had a son together. Last week the rumors came back in full force this time with more details – that Chen Xiao asked for the divorce, Michelle does not want it, and that he’s moved out since December 2023 so 6-months ago and refuses any contact with her, he changed his cell and her only way to contact him is through his team.
The reasons remain the same – cultural differences between folks who grew up in Mainland and Taiwan, her insecurity and clinginess, and his indifference. Neither side has responded to this round of rumors but this week Michelle, who normally lives in Taipei with their son, is in China to film a modern C-drama titled Sniper Butterfly. Legit this drama wouldn’t even make any waves but for the fact that 41-year old Michelle is starring in a romance opposite 22-year old Zhou Ke Yu making the 19-year age gap one of the largest in recent C-drama memory. I don’t even know who this fetus Zhou Ke Yu is other than he looks like if you smushed Xu Kai and Yang Yang together and popped out their AI gene combo child. Michelle is also getting flack for the highly photoshopped posters when she looks way closer to her real age at the filming ceremony this week.

LMAO Cdramas getting increasingly desperate with their casting stunts
One other big age-gap difference drama was The Rational Life starring Qin Lan and Wang Hedi. It worked well enough there, plus their interviews were great. They were very comfortable with each other and WH brought out the playful side of QL.
The problem with this Sniper pairing is that her personal drama is overshadowing the actual drama. We’ll see if it works out somehow.
What in the engrish is up with the title?
I just lost a zillion brain cells tryna read and comprehend it
Koala you may want to fix the typos with the title.
As the couple has suffered from numerous divorce rumors since their marriage, it makes sense that they no longer acknowledge the rumors if they just want to work. Let the couple admit to whatever they choose about their marriage when they are good and ready. It’s their private life after all.
It’s like Cnetizens WANT them to breakup with the way they publicize people’s private life before the couple admits to anything.
And thanks Koala for the free publicity of Michelle’s drama. Wasn’t planning on checking it out, but now may just do so due to your description of the ML’s features. lol.
lmao ai gene combo child is crazy 😭🤣
19 years is not crazy if your visual can keep up, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. It would work if the ml looks older than his age or the fl looks younger than her age.
Dylan Wang (1998) and Qin Lan (1979) had the same age gap in 'The Rational Life' (19 years) and they looked pretty good together imo...probably one of my favorite partner of Dylan Wang (drama is an underrated gem). Chemistry was chemistrying despite the huge age gap.
Agreed, love that show, and the FL was so great you basically went ‘Dylan’s character got super lucky!’
Not familiar with this actress and definitely she did some face shaping in the promo, but she looks pretty IRL and a plausible pair imho.
That’s the drama that made me like Dylan. He then went on to do cringe fest Only for Love!!
As long as the writing is good it will work like TRL.
i actually thought it's a different Michelle Chen from the Condor Heroes coz the promotional pics look very different and it made me want to copy her hairstyle!
Another flop out of the gate.
There have been a ton of rumors about these two since forever so it's best to ignore unless there's some sort of official announcement. Tbh I wouldn't even be denying at this point if I were them. It's useless.
Lol they were rumoured to be divorcing even before they got married. This is one reel to real I think the majority just hated. They can do what they want with their lives but the age difference in the drama is way too evident when looking at the non photoshopped photos 😬
I skimmed a bit of this piece of gossip when it came up on the hot searches. As hot searches on Weibo are usually bought, we can guess who bought the hot searches via analysing the marketing accounts' narratives. In those hot searches, the marketing accounts claimed that there's rumours of Chen Xiao being cold to Michelle after the marriage, hasn't seen the family for a long time, wanting a divorce so much that he's willing to give all his assets to Michelle in exchange for the divorce, etc etc. While Chen Xiao's fans retaliated by claiming that Michelle plays around a lot before marriage and that Chen Xiao only found out about it after they got married. If they're really getting divorce, it's going to be a big hot mess.
