Meet the Chinese ‘Mistress Dispeller’ Who Claims to Save Marriages by Persuading Lovers to Leave
Wang Zhenxi has an unusual profession that she says helps save marriages. For the past eight years, the 39-year-old from Henan, central China, has been a “mistress dispeller,” a career she chose after facing betrayal in her own relationship. As a relationship counsellor, Wang claims she has received nearly 10,000 inquiries from potential clients since 2016, according to the South China Morning Post.
Wang’s job involves running a workshop where she counsels mistresses, convincing them to leave the married men they are involved with. Her journey began after she went through her own “dark days” when her husband reportedly had an affair. “I could not accept it. To get through those tough times, I started learning psychology and reading books on emotions,” Wang said. Her efforts paid off as she was able to “safeguard” her marriage.
After obtaining a counselling license by passing psychology exams, Wang began writing articles on marriage and emotions, gaining online popularity. This led to people seeking her advice on handling infidelity in their relationships. “I responded to them individually, devising a solution to persuade the mistress to leave,” Wang explained. She refers to this approach as her “marriage correction method.”
Wang now spends most of the year traveling across China, meeting clients, their spouses, and the mistresses involved. She charges 700 yuan (about Rs 8,265) per hour for her services, which sometimes include arranging blind dates for mistresses to help them move on and find new partners.
One of Wang’s success stories involves a 32-year-old wife whose husband was having an affair. Wang managed to convince the mistress to leave, and the husband eventually returned to his family. This former client now works as Wang’s assistant, helping new clients by sharing her personal experience.
Despite her success, Wang believes that infidelity is often a symptom of deeper issues in a relationship. “One mistress may leave, but another may take her place,” she cautions, stressing the need to address underlying problems in marriages rather than just removing the external factors.
Wang’s unique profession and her unconventional methods to “dispel mistresses” have garnered attention and sparked discussions on how to deal with infidelity and save marriages.
