A married man in China managed to maintain relationships with four other women, all residing in the same housing complex. Remarkably, one of these women even lived in the same building as his wife.

This secret arrangement lasted over four years without any of the women discovering each other’s existence, sparking astonishment across Chinese social media.

The man, known by the pseudonym Xiaojun, whose age remains undisclosed, hails from Jilin province in northeastern China. He came from a financially disadvantaged background and had dropped out of secondary school.

However, he crafted the persona of a “rich second-generation” and successfully wooed his wife, Xiaojia.

Despite his mother working as a bathhouse attendant and his father juggling part-time jobs at construction sites, Xiaojun claimed that his parents were successful businesspeople and often bought counterfeit luxury items online as gifts for his future wife.
