Taiwanese actress Tian Wa recently appeared on TVBS to promote her film, Zhao Dao Chu Nu, which details her past relationships with seven men.
During the interview, the 72-year-old revealed that she had a 17-year affair with a married man.
At the time, Tian Wa, who has a daughter from a past marriage, was freshly divorced and in search of a new home when the man offered help.
In addition to assisting with the house, the man, who owned a funeral service company, also provided her with an allowance.
“He loved his family very much and couldn’t break his promises. When he went home, I was cut off but when he was outside, he was mine.” Tian Wa said, adding that she willingly accepted the arrangement.
The actress further disclosed that the man’s wife was aware of their affair, which eventually ended when he chose to focus on his family.
As for the people who labelled her a mistress, Tian Wa said: “People say I was a mistress, but the best time of my life was when I was a mistress.”
Though that chapter of her life has closed, Tian Wa still enjoys a vibrant active love life.
She mentioned that many men pursue her and send her messages on Facebook, but she only replies if she’s interested.
When asked how she deals with indecent messages, the actress replied: “I ignore and block the sender. That’s inappropriate.”
