For over 15 years, a woman in China whose real name is Zhang Yufen, but has come to be referred to as the Mistress Killer, has been out helping women whose men have been cheating on them to carry out revenge on the men.
The woman became very famous or infamous as the case may be, in the country as a result of the number of women she has helped, and the number of men she has brought down.
Details About China’s Mistress Killer
1. The Mistress Killer Was once Cheated Upon
Zhang Yufen began life as an ordinary and normal woman until the 1990s when she was cheated upon by her husband. What was even more unfortunate for her, was that she had been married to the man for up to 16 years before he left her.
After getting married, Zhang and her husband operate a single bank account. Unfortunately for her, after he cheated on her, he emptied their account, leaving her on her own with their son.
As a result of the betrayal she suffered and the heartbreak, she became a mistress hunter and decided to end adultery by exposing the men involved and getting a pound of flesh for the cheated woman.
2. It was her best friend that her husband left her for
For the next five years, the Mistress Killer was following and trying to track her husband down. When at last she was found him, she got to realize it was for her best friend that he left her.
It was not easy for her to track him down as for the next five years, he kept changing places whenever he got to know she was following him.
The Mistress Hunter gathered all the information she was going to need and with that, requested divorce which was finally granted in 2007.
3. She founded Alliance Against Mistresses
In 2003, the woman who is now headed for her 60s founded the Alliance against mistresses. This was the start of her campaign against women that were dating married men.
Probably the 5 years she spent tracking down her husband were years spent in the school of investigation as she became good at following and tracking down cheating men and their lovers.
The Alliance soon became popular among women who needed detective work on their husbands when they suspect that they were cheating as well as advice when indeed, the men were cheating. The name of her agency is known as the Fire Phoenix detective agency.
4. How she gets justice done
In China, services such as the one she offers are considered illegal. As a result of that, she has always found her cases being thrown out of court. What is more, is that sometimes all the evidence submitted to the courts somehow gets to disappear mysteriously. But before anything, she is said to sometimes persuade the mistresses to leave the men alone.
Because of this, Zhang Yufen who has also been referred to as “China’s number one ladies’ detective” took it upon herself, if her clients want, to find the cheating husband and his mistress and exert revenge on the woman.
Even though she is known as the mistress killer, what she actually does is beat up the mistress to a pulp and threaten them. Mistress beating in China is very popular, most especially by wives that have been cheated on, or people they hire to do the job for them.
5. Some of her popular cases
Although she has been able to handle a lot of cases successfully, starting with herself, of course, there are a few that stand completely out.
One of such involves a Chinese railway worker whose wife approached the Mistress Killer for her services in an attempt to find out who her husband was cheating with. As it would turn out, her husband was actually cheating with as many as 17 women all in different parts of the country.
This case became highly popular as she also found out that the man was involved in corruption and was promoting his relatives indiscriminately in the railway system. Even though the woman who hired the mistress killer was able to get a divorce, the evidence gathered was not used in court.
Another case that she handled was one in which an elderly woman’s daughter took pesticide because her husband was cheating on her. The woman couldn’t take her husband to court since she didn’t have sufficient evidence, as such she contacted the Mistress Killer.
6. She has become rich and famous for it
When she first began, Zhang Yufen was all about charging very little fee for the purpose of running the expenses. Although she was very successful in tracking down cheating men and their mistresses, she later had to shut down her business because she went out of money in 2004 shortly after she started.

She was, however, later able to start it again and this time, she still didn’t charge a fortune but got to sustain her business and become quite rich. The mistress hunter is also very popular for it by different names including Ernani Shashou. That said, she still offers her services very cheaply to women who have no money to seek legal redress against their cheating husbands.
7. The risks and dangers involved
In China, the rate of infidelity is extremely high, just as the cases of divorce as a result of cheating. Because of this, the mistress killer and groups like hers are always hired to follow a lot of people of different statuses and ideologies.
This opens them up to a lot of danger. Another thing is that sometimes the cheating men may be involved in even more crimes that she would stumble on.
Apart from the personal danger, the government has banned such services as the one she offers.
