After a Couple Who Despise Each Other Joined a Divorce Reality Show

A famous divorce reality show polled its prospective guests, and the once-renowned actress Chu Xi and Yunsheng Group CEO Fu Shen, the "pure-hate couple," came in first.

Rumor had it that their marriage had fallen apart and they were about to divorce.

Rumor had it that they once got into a vicious fight, and President Fu showed up at work the next day with injuries.

Rumor had it that they had been living apart for six months, each seeing someone new.

Chu Xi's response: All true.

Her husband, Fu Shen, had once topped the list of must-see men in City A. Even though he was married and no longer young, he was still the nation's husband, constantly hounded by admirers.

What Chu Xi found even harder to endure was her husband's increasingly cold demeanor.

This divorce was happening, no matter what!

Fu Shen woke up one morning to discover he had gone from being 18 to being 38.

The good news: His longtime crush had become his wife.

The bad news: Their marriage was falling apart, and they had agreed to divorce after appearing on the show.

Fu Shen timidly raised his hand. "Um... I think this marriage can still be saved!"

Smack!

His fantasy was shattered by a fragrant slap from his wife.

Chu Xi glared at him with wide, beautiful eyes and snapped, "Get lost!"

Fu Shen caught her hand and pressed it to his other cheek, his puppy-dog eyes burning with affection. "Honey, this side too."

At 38, Fu Shen discovered that his wife seemed to have another man on the side.

The man was clingy and shameless, often leaving subtle yet boastful marks on Chu Xi.

She seemed happier when she was with him.

Fu Shen was so jealous he was about to go mad, yet he still refused to ask for a divorce.

Even if he died, he would remain Chu Xi's one and only husband in name and law.

Once the show began airing, Chu Xi and Fu Shen's divorce fans waited eagerly, while haters checked in every day to post [Shenxi Couple Divorce Countdown].

They waited and waited, but what they got was this:

Fu Shen was overflowing with possessiveness, and the question he asked most every day was, "Where's my wife?"

Chu Xi was beautiful and willful, treating Fu Shen like her personal servant.

Yet every time, Fu Shen would wear a cold expression and obey her every command.

Netizens: "Pure-hate couple" is kind of fun to ship? Are we sure they're not a "pure-love couple"?

At the end of the show, the host asked Chu Xi if she still planned to divorce.

Fu Shen, usually as unflappable as an old dog, rushed to answer. The hand clutching her hem gave it a pleading little tug.

"We're not getting divorced!"
