Is some floozy getting too friendly with your husband? You'll need to deal with your husband. But you may also need to explain to the homewrecker that your man is taken. According to What's on Weibo, a blog that summarizes news from China, market demand has created a new profession: mistress discourager. Adultery and divorce are on the rise in China, so it's possible to earn a good living by driving off extra partners:
So-called “third person dissuaders” or “mistress discouragers” specialise in persuading mistresses to step back from their client’s marriage, and make an annual salary of approximately one million yuan (157,500 US$).
Saving a marriage does not come cheap. China’s “third person dissuaders” or “mistress discouragers” sometimes charge as high as 250,000 yuan (±40,000 US$) to persuade ‘the third person’ (小三), or ‘the other woman’, to step back from their clients’ marriage.
