Passionate Kiss in the Cemetery with Michelle Chen, Wedding Vows Dug Up and Seem Ironic Now

Chen Xiao and Michelle Chen initially got together while working on "The Romance of the Condor Heroes," their on-screen chemistry leading to a real-life marriage. Their wedding was filled with elements from the show, with Michelle making a romantic boat entrance. During the vows, Chen Xiao expressed: “I will take good care of you. I love you, my wife, forever and ever.” Michelle sweetly replied: “I never thought I could meet the love of my life and marry him. I will do my utmost in this lifetime to hold onto this happiness.” In light of their recent divorce, these vows have now become empty promises.

After their divorce, netizens have dug up instances showcasing the difference in Chen Xiao’s behavior towards Michelle Chen during their passionate phase versus their later, more detached phase. Past examples include Chen Xiao defending Michelle fiercely online during their early romance, which received much attention.

In 2015, Chen Xiao proposed to Michelle in Paris, after which she accompanied him to Hefei to pay respects at the family grave. The two reportedly shared their happy news with Chen Xiao's ancestors and were photographed being affectionately romantic, embracing and kissing in the cemetery. When these photos circulated, netizens criticized their behavior as "inappropriate," and Michelle faced backlash.

In response, Chen Xiao angrily lashed out at the paparazzi and retaliated against the negative comments from netizens. He clarified that he was merely there to pay his respects and questioned why such a private moment was photographed: “Why are you taking photos of me visiting the grave?! Is it that profitable? That's my grandma! It's fine to mess with me, but leave my family out of this, please!” He also defended Michelle from netizens' attacks, stating, “I wanted my grandma to see her beloved eldest grandson get married! What's the problem?” and “My grandma would have loved to see this moment.”
