Time flies, and in an instant, 13 years of wind and rain have quietly gone. Couples who once supported each other through ups and downs are now on very different paths of fate and have very different life circumstances.
Today's ex-wife Lin Shiling is standing on the peak of her brilliant life. She has not only achieved remarkable achievements in the business field, but also won a warm and happy married life.
Under her leadership, the Elephant Group has shown a vibrant new look, regaining its former glory, and in the emotional world, she has also found a sincere love with the film and television giant Lee Jung-jae, and the two are in love and incomparably in love.
Whenever Lin Shiling appears in the public eye, she always becomes the center of attention. Her elegant posture and kind smile all reveal the noble temperament and unique charm of a female leader.
Lee Jung-jae beside him accompanied him affectionately, and their sweet interaction was like a visual feast, making people feel the beauty and warmth of life.
However, in stark contrast to Lin Shiling's brilliant life, it is the ups and downs of her ex-husband Lee Jae-yong in recent years. The helmsman of the Samsung empire, who was supposed to shine brightly, was deeply troubled by the outbreak of the Park Geun-hye case and was eventually sentenced to two and a half years in prison.
After his release from prison, Lee's future remains uncertain. First, the scandal of his alleged bribery had a serious negative impact on his control of the Samsung Group. Secondly, due to his son's unsatisfactory performance, he had to say in public that he would not entrust the future of Samsung to his son.
It can be said that the heir of the former empire is now walking on a difficult and bleak path.
Faced with emotional trauma and the confusion of his family's fate, Lee Jae-yong seemed helpless and could only cope with it. His current situation undoubtedly reveals a harsh reality of life: if a successful man lacks a strong and reliable female supporter behind him, his life is likely to be in chaos.
It is precisely because of the loss of the support and love of his lover that Lee Jae-yong will be struggling and stumbling forward on the road of career and family. In contrast, although Lin Shiling experienced hardships in her marriage, she finally regained her life and achieved a gorgeous turn in life with her perseverance and outstanding wisdom.
To this day, the situation of the two VIPs has produced a strong contrast, which makes people deeply regret and move. The hand of fate is at the mercy of unpredictable, and the past is irretrievable, but those who can stand up from adversity will definitely show greater energy!
To trace the turning point in the fate of Lim Shiling and Lee Jae-yong, we have to go back 13 years to 1998. That year, they forged a business marriage that was never seen before.
As heirs to two of Korea's most prominent chaebol families in contemporary Korea, their weddings are undoubtedly the focus of national attention. The wedding was the ultimate in luxury, and the venue was chosen at the prestigious Yonginhoam Museum of Art in Gyeonggi-do.
On that day, whether it was political elites, business tycoons, or bright stars in the entertainment industry, they all attended, and the scene was spectacular and enthusiastic. Even former Prime Minister Lee So-sung was present to send blessings to the couple, and the wedding was officiated by former Prime Minister Kang Young-hoon.
The groom, Lee Jae-yong, came from a noble background and was regarded as the future successor of Samsung Group since he was a child. He is fluent in several languages and has a brilliant academic background: after graduating from Seoul National University, he went to Japan and the United States to study and received a double master's degree.
A Samsung insider said of him: "Lee Jae-yong is approachable, personable, easy to approach, and has no class concept. He often walked alone among the mountains and rivers, dressed modestly and without an entourage.
It can be seen that despite his wealthy background, he has always maintained humility and is loved by everyone.
Lin Shiling is the daughter of the Elephant Group. In contrast, she appears more arrogant and unapproachable. The two met through a blind date event arranged by the family, and after an in-depth understanding, they finally tied the knot.
Although it was a marriage based on business interests, Lee Jae-yong and Lim Shiling were undoubtedly the most suitable couple at the time.
After entering the Li family, Lin Shiling completely subverted her previous arrogant image. She resolutely gave up her original education, went to the United States to accompany her husband to study, and devoted herself to the responsibility of raising children.
As the daughter-in-law of Samsung Group, the pressure she is under can be imagined. However, she firmly took on the role, serving her in-laws and husband with all her heart, sacrificing only her own feelings.
This life lasted for 11 years, and even a normal pair of headphones had to fully comply with the rules of the Samsung brand before they could be used, and she had no free choice.
On the surface, it seems to be a glamorous life, but behind the facts, it is full of endless pain and depression.
However, Lin Shiling tried her best to suppress the deep dissatisfaction in her heart, just because of a deep desire for family honor and a happy life.
In this environment of business marriage, Lin Shiling, as a "chess piece", has no right to express her true emotions, which is a life principle that she has long been well aware of. However, just as she was confidently preparing to devote herself to the flourishing of the two family businesses, a heavy punch struck her mercilessly.
It was a critical period for Samsung Group to decide to enter the food additives industry. The Elephant Group led by Lin Shiling happens to be working in the same field and is facing unprecedented development difficulties.
As the heir to the family business, Lin Shiling should have actively sought substantial support and assistance from her husband's family, Samsung, in order to help the Elephant Group tide over the difficulties.
However, she never expected that at this life-and-death moment, she would be like "dispensable" in the Li family. Not only did it not receive the slightest attention, but even the Li family hoped that the Elephant Group could be completely banned so as to get a piece of the pie.
For Lin Shiling, who has always served her in-laws and family wholeheartedly, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
In an instant, Lin Shiling felt anger and disappointment that she had never felt before. All the hard work and hard sweat that she once put in for the Li family have now turned into ridiculous jokes in her opinion.
As a result, a divorce battle that lasted for 6 years began. Lin Shiling unswervingly filed a claim of up to 100 billion yuan for breakup fees against her husband Lee Jae-yong! Since then, the marriage relationship between the two has completely broken down and they have fallen into the coldest and most difficult abyss.
Just when this protracted and 6-year-long divorce battle came to an end, Lin Shiling finally ushered in the glorious moment of raising her eyebrows and becoming famous with her courage and determination.
She regarded the huge breakup fee of up to 100 billion yuan as the capital to start anew, and resolutely gave up the noble status of "Samsung Princess" and devoted herself to the revival of her own elephant group.
The rapid passage of time has verified that Lin Shiling is not an incompetent vase in the boudoir of high society, but shows outstanding wisdom and strong strength, and takes the lead. Relying on its unique and unrivaled personal charm and this huge capital injection as if it were a historical leap, Elephant Group is like a phoenix, re-emerging and revitalizing at an astonishing speed.
As a result, Lin Shiling achieved a brilliant transformation and gorgeous turn in her life. She is no longer the miserable woman who was once attached to Lee Jae-yong and could only serve as a "three-star daughter-in-law", but the actual helmsman and female leader of the elephant company who has been successfully promoted.
Compared with the slightly vulgar title of "three-star daughter-in-law", the honor of "business queen" is undoubtedly more dazzling and admirable.
What's even more striking is that in 2015, the up-and-coming business queen stepped into a sunny new relationship. She met and fell in love with Lee Jung-jae, a giant in the Korean film and television industry, and began a sweet love life.
In this double harvest known as "career line + love line" by the outside world, Lin Shiling completely got rid of the inferiority complex and haze caused by the failure of marriage. She is deeply favored by Lee Jung-jae, the two hold hands, love each other, are filled with pink sweetness, and live an enviable happy life.
Looking back on Lin Shiling's current status, people can't help but sigh what kind of life transformation and rebirth she has experienced.
She was once a delicate flower in the greenhouse bound by her family, losing herself and living in the shadow of others. Today, however, she has grown into an elite in the business world, taking charge of her own and shining brightly.
What's even more rare is that on the road of emotion, she also ushered in a new life. She bravely broke free from the haze of emotional wounds and started a new love affair with actor Lee Jung-jae. In this loving relationship, she once again released her self-style and enjoyed endless care and love.
From beginning to end, Lin Shiling has used her tenacity and outstanding talents to write a magnificent chapter in her life. Her transformation and rebirth fully demonstrate the great spirit of women working hard in the face of adversity.
Compared with his ex-wife Lin Shiling's epic and magnificent life picture, the setbacks and tribulations experienced by Lee Jae-yong are undoubtedly overshadowed. As the successor of the powerful of the Samsung Empire, he should have been at the top of Mount Tai, steady and steady, and continued to write a new chapter in the glory of the family.
However, the vagaries of fate pushed him into a difficult path full of thorns.
All the upheavals stemmed from the shocking revelations of the 2016 case of Park Geun-hye's cronies meddling in politics. Due to the involvement of this case, Lee Jae-yong was unfortunately sentenced to two and a half years in prison and fell into prison by accident.
He spent his 49th birthday in prison, and the only thing that accompanied him was a cheap prison meal, which was in stark contrast to the glory and wealth of the past.
After being released from prison, Lee Jae-yong was expected to take over the family scepter smoothly and inherit the glory of the three-star kingdom. However, the scandal of his alleged bribery has put obstacles to his future prospects of taking control of Samsung.
The public's doubts and distrust of him have undoubtedly become a huge challenge that he must face in the future.
To make matters worse, his path to succession has been frustrated again. Due to the lackluster performance of the eldest son in the family business, Lee Jae-yong had to announce in full view that Samsung's future would never be managed by his son.
It can be said that all the gloom and confusion made him feel unprecedented lost and hesitant about the future of the family business.
On the two bridges to success, career and family, Lee Jae-yong suffered a heavy blow. And his biggest regret is that at this moment when he needs the support of women the most, he lacks the support and love of a trustworthy partner around him.
In contrast, ex-wife Lin Shiling's career and emotional life are much smoother. Not only did she reopen a new chapter in her career, but at the lowest point in her life, she was carefully cared for and affectionately loved by actor Lee Jung-jae.
It can be said that it is precisely because of having such a trustworthy partner as a strong backing that Lin Shiling can regain her vitality and show the unique tenacity and strength of women.
In the absence of such a trustworthy and influential female supporter, Lee Jae-yong had to walk alone on a road full of thorns and challenges, and it was difficult to move forward.
The predicament he faces is a harsh lesson in life: if successful men lack the unwavering support of a loving partner, their lives will inevitably fall into chaos.
Life is like this, and those who can firmly grasp love must be able to take the lead in life.
