"Mistress Killers" or How Chinese Wives Fight Their Rivals

A mistress in China is a very expensive pleasure. Having one is considered one of the signs of high wealth. Having achieved success in life, family men have young passions, for whom they provide a beautiful life. Wives usually turn a blind eye to this disgrace until the mistress begins to threaten the family well-being.

Usually, as long as the husband brings money to the family and provides for his legal wife and children, there are no claims against him at home. The kept woman exists as if in a parallel dimension. She lives in a rented apartment, receives gifts and serves only as a toy for the man. Such girls are called "second wives" or "ernai", and in society this is treated as a type of prostitution.

But sometimes the relationship with the mistress crosses a certain line and becomes serious. Chinese wives do not want to put up with this. The danger that the capital will leave the family for the young flirt pushes them to extreme measures. No, this is not a scandal or assault. Women in the Celestial Empire are much more cunning than ours and almost always blame the rival for what happened. Legal spouses usually turn to "mistress killers".

One of these "killers" is called Jean Yufeng. She herself was once a beloved wife to a caring and wealthy husband, until a young seductress destroyed her family. So Madame Yufeng went on the warpath and decided to help women who found themselves in a similar difficult situation. Of course, she does not do this for free.

Zhan Yufeng has a whole team of employees. She figures out the insidious homewrecker and gives a tip to her henchmen. They arrange reprisals against the girl, using the most unpleasant and even illegal actions. The mistresses are beaten, their clothes are torn off in public, they are doused with paint or sewage. The entire process of execution is filmed on video.

Sometimes the property of the home wreckers suffers too. Nasty things can be written on the doors of their apartments, and their cars are often splashed with paint. All this is done to ruin the girl's life. Videos of humiliating reprisals are posted on the Internet, and the "slut" inscriptions washed off the doors and hoods are restored again and again so that as many neighbors as possible can see them.

Interestingly, unfaithful husbands almost never become victims of such persecution. "Mistress killers" like Zhan Yufeng specialize only in the weaker sex. Of course, such actions are not approved by the law, and professional morality fighters and their employers often end up in the dock. But Zhan Yufeng, despite constant lawsuits, does not leave his business.

For wives who are hesitant to get involved in crime, there is another way to eliminate a mistress. Wang Zhenxi, 39, is also called a "mistress killer," although her methods are entirely humane. Zhenxi provides counseling services to help save broken marriages. She holds seminars for unfaithful husbands, counsels their wives, and travels to talk to mistresses.

So Wang Zhenxi has been working for 8 years and quite successfully. Like her radical colleague Zhan Yufeng, she experienced family drama. But after that, she did not get angry, but got an education as a psychologist. She charges $100 (8.9 thousand rubles) per hour, but women often thank her for her successful work. So once the specialist was paid a bonus of $42 thousand (3.7 million rubles) for saving a family.
