Taiwanese actress Chang Chien returns to TV after 10 years, reveals 9-year relationship with strict 'no marriage' terms

After a decade away from the small screen, Taiwanese actress Chang Chien is making a comeback in the Sanlih TV drama "The Taste of Life." Known for her memorable villainous roles in past hits like "Taiwan Tornado," Chang Chien is once again set to play a character that viewers will love to hate.

If there was anything that made you uncomfortable before, I apologize.

In her personal life, Chang Chien has found lasting love with a man from the tech industry. The couple has been together for nine years, and she has laid down strict conditions for their relationship, including a no-marriage clause. She explained that while she initially didn't want to remarry for her daughter's sake, she has since realized that marriage doesn't suit her independent and rebellious nature. Her partner, who has never been married and has no children, fully supports her decision.

Chang Chien also revealed that she has reconciled with her ex-husband, actor You An-shun, with whom she shares a daughter. After years of animosity, they have reached a point of mutual respect and even help each other with work introductions. She believes in letting go of past resentments and has found peace through self-forgiveness and reconciliation.

No, it was I who wronged you.

Despite her personal peace, Chang Chien's return to acting has been met with intense online backlash. Viewers, still associating her with her past villainous characters, have flooded the drama's YouTube comments with harsh criticism. Chang Chien admitted that the negativity has been so overwhelming that she has even contemplated wishing for her character's demise in the script, hoping the writers will send her character abroad to escape the criticism.

This time, I was really scolded to the point of even having the thought of 'seeking death,' I really hope the scriptwriter can quickly send my character abroad!
