(First-hand information from close relatives)
The two had known each other for a long time. They started dating officially after filming the movie "The Myth" in 2005 and got married in 2006. Actually, the reason they came together was quite simple: Zhang Bachi thought Nicholas Tse was very handsome and manly, while Nicholas Tse found Zhang Bachi beautiful with a great figure. The two young people developed mutual feelings and thus began their relationship.
In the first few years of their marriage, they were deeply in love, inseparable.
After Zhang Bachi gave birth to their first child, their affection grew even stronger. However, after the "sex photo scandal" occurred,
—— although Nicholas Tse didn't say much, appearing generous and forgiving, in reality, a rift had already formed between them. They failed to communicate effectively about the matter, instead avoiding it altogether, which made them feel increasingly estranged from one another...
Since then, Nicholas Tse focused on his work, which further made Zhang Bachi feel that he "disliked" her, intentionally avoiding her and leaving her at home to take care of the children without regard for either her or the kids, leaving her heartbroken
and emotionally unfulfilled. Moreover, Zhang Bachi had a naturally strong libido
which intensified after marriage.
Unfortunately, her husband was constantly working away from home, unable to provide the "love" she desired.
Unable to bear the loneliness, she naturally began to flirt and engage with others outside...
Naturally, Nicholas Tse felt upset. He worked hard to earn money for the family, yet his wife seemed restless (continuing her indiscretions even after the sex photo scandal). She socialized promiscuously, leading to the eventual eruption of long-suppressed conflicts and suspicions between them
— each believing the other was at fault, culminating in their divorce.
