1. The day Sheng Chu decided to divorce Yan Chen happened to be the first day he came home after spending six months filming away from home.
At the time, the man was leaning over her, his voice hoarse as he called her by her nickname, "Yiyi."
She turned her head to avoid his heated gaze. Only after he let out a sigh of release did she say, trembling, "Yan Chen, let's get divorced."
The man, still catching his breath, went still. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and warned her, "Don't joke around."
Sheng Chu, who had always given him whatever he wanted, defied him for the first time. "Yan Chen, we're not right for each other."
2. During the divorce cooling-off period, Yan Chen braved the director's displeasure and returned to the capital to find her.
Outside the research institute, he watched the two of them acting intimately, then turned expressionlessly and got into his car.
After a long silence, a violent crash rang out inside.
The man threw the gift he'd brought onto the floor. With red-rimmed eyes, he drove away.
Once, after getting drunk, he went to the home Sheng Chu was renting. In a hoarse voice, he asked whether she still loved him.
"Sheng Chu, I can quit acting for good, as long as you're still willing to stay by my side."
"Yan Chen, don't give up the things you love for anyone." She looked away, her voice strained but utterly resolute. "Let's just end this."
3. Someone posted a video on social media of popular actor Yan Chen and his ex-wife taking part in a school sports meet.
After it made the trending list, netizens accused the woman of using it to drum up publicity.
After months of silence, Yan Chen returned to social media--
