A Quiet Love Story with the Wealthy Doctor
In 1992, at the age of 26, Diệp Tử My fell into a romance with the wealthy doctor Lữ Tích Chiêu and decided to leave her career two years later. Leaving behind the spotlight, Diệp Tử My chose a slow, ordinary life alongside Lữ Tích Chiêu.
In their nearly three-decade-long relationship, Diệp Tử My and Lữ Tích Chiêu once parted ways in 1997. However, this separation made them realize that they couldn't live without each other.
Despite being together for 26 years, Diệp Tử My and Lữ Tích Chiêu never married or had children because... they simply didn't want to.
Before being with Diệp Tử My, Lữ Tích Chiêu had experienced divorce. Consequently, he was haunted by an unhappy married life and didn't want to start a family. Diệp Tử My also accepted a life without official status for the one she loved.
Despite not marrying or having children, their nearly 30 years together were as happy as any other couple's.
Diệp Tử My admitted that she was madly in love with Lữ Tích Chiêu. For him, she, a girl who couldn't cook, went to culinary school and cooked delicious meals for her loved one every day. To be with Lữ Tích Chiêu, Diệp Tử My left behind all the glitz of showbiz. There was a time when she received offers to star in movies with huge salaries but still decided to decline.
In November 2018, Lữ Tích Chiêu suddenly passed away on a plane while en route to the United States due to a sudden heart attack. After her lover's death, Diệp Tử My fell into a deep mental crisis due to the abrupt pain.
There were rumors that Diệp Tử My was left with nothing after Lữ Tích Chiêu's death because he left all his assets to his son and ex-wife. However, there is information that Lữ Tích Chiêu had ensured Diệp Tử My's financial security, allowing her to live a comfortable life after his passing.
Many years after Lữ Tích Chiêu's death, Diệp Tử My still lives a solitary life.
