Seven months pregnant, she stayed home to rest. When he returned from a business trip, she impulsively went to pick him up, only to find her surprise turning into a dramatic shock. She saw him passionately kissing a female colleague. After a week of calm, Jiang Jin, armed with evidence, filed for divorce. Zhou Cheng'an knelt and admitted his mistake: "I lost control for a moment, but I haven't fallen in love with anyone else. My heart will always belong to you." Jiang Jin didn't waver, making him leave with nothing, and signed the divorce papers. A sudden car accident killed Jiang Jin and her unborn child.
