Until I won three Golden Horse Awards and shone on international red carpets. Finally, my "ex-boyfriends" thawed and issued a joint statement: #Su WantangTimeManagementMaster#. That night, my manager husband held me in his arms, holding the trending topic on his phone, raising an eyebrow and asking: "Explain yourself? Hmm?"
