As an illegitimate child, she spent her first seven years in a modest three-bedroom house just a few minutes away from her father’s mansion.

But after Li walked in on her husband and his girlfriend in the bedroom, she ended her six-year marriage. "Women have more expectations from marriage now," she says.
