Overseasidol.com — Chinese actress Zhao Yingzi recently made headlines after revealing details about her past relationship during a live broadcast.
In her candid story, Zhao shared that her ex-boyfriend who is 11 years younger than her was a popular actor earning up to 20 million yuan (approximately USD 2.7 million) for a single drama or film project.
“He told me that being with him would make my life feel completely different,” Zhao recalled.
He added, “Whenever fans saw him, they would scream in excitement. I wanted to experience what it felt like to be loved by someone like that, so I agreed to be with him,”.
According to Zhao, her ex was extremely romantic in the beginning.
He frequently surprised her with gifts such as 99 roses every day, and 999 roses on special occasions like 520 (Chinese Valentine’s Day). However, Zhao later told him she preferred practical gifts.
“I told him not to send flowers anymore because I like handbags better,” she said.
“He called me materialistic, but I told him I work hard and buy my own bags, so why is that wrong? Then he said he’d buy me one after finishing his drama. I joked, ‘You earn 20 million yuan per project, that’s more than enough to buy me a bag!’” Zhao added with a laugh.
Her confession quickly became a hot topic on Chinese social media, with many netizens speculating about the identity of the young actor with such a high income and massive fanbase.
Although Zhao refrained from naming him, she confirmed that the relationship had already ended.
