Back then, Dong Xuan chose to get married and have children, gradually stepping away from the spotlight to focus on family life as a full-time housewife. Unfortunately, after Gao Yunxiang rose to fame, he began having numerous affairs, and things got worse when he got entangled in a sexual assault case in Australia. Although it took two years of legal battles to clear the assault charges, his infidelity during the marriage was solidly confirmed.

The most tragic part? During those years, Dong Xuan was borrowing money from everywhere to try and bail him out. It’s not that she didn’t have any savings of her own—her husband had also made quite a bit of money. But she wasn’t willing to spend her own private funds on a cheating husband. As for his money, she couldn’t get access to it, so her only option was to turn to her close friends and borrow from them to get him out, essentially “openly shearing the wool” (i.e., taking advantage of her friendships).
