Chinese Short Drama Star Wang Yiran Ends Relationship Amid Privacy Fears and Hilarious Rumours |
Chinese micro-drama heartthrob Wang Yiran has gone public with news of his split from his girlfriend, telling fans the pair parted ways on good terms. The 30-year-old actor, best known for roles in a string of hit short dramas, posted the news on social media without diving too deep into personal reasons.
However, the calm announcement soon took a sharp turn online after his now-ex decided to share a bit more. According to World Journal, she revealed she simply couldn’t take the heat of dating a celebrity anymore.
In a frank post, she explained that Wang’s rising fame had exposed her to endless gossip, cruel attacks from netizens, and constant invasions of her private life — all of which left her emotionally drained.
But that wasn’t the only reason causing a stir. Screenshots of her chats with netizens did the rounds on social platforms, revealing that she also had a, shall we say, more down-to-earth complaint: Wang Yiran’s rather unstoppable farting habit.
According to her, the actor’s excessive gas was so smelly it became downright unbearable — a detail that had netizens howling with laughter and disbelief in equal measure.
Despite the eyebrow-raising confession, most fans have shown support for both sides, praising Wang for handling the breakup maturely.

A Short Drama Legend
Wang Yiran isn’t just any internet celeb — he’s become a leading name in the booming Chinese short drama scene. From Sweet Trap (2023), where he played the swoonworthy Shen Jingting, to The Black-bellied Boss’s Substitute Bride and I Am the Queen the same year, Wang has built an enviable résumé.

Another hit, Falling in Love with You at Sunset (日落時分愛上你) in 2023, cemented his status as one of the hottest short drama male leads, with fans praising his role as the charming Zhou Guangyan.
All told, Wang Yiran has racked up nearly 50 short dramas in just a few years, proving his place as one of the most prolific micro-drama stars in China.
Fans React
Online reactions to the breakup — and the unexpected mention of smelly flatulence — have been a mixed bag. Some fans were sad about the end of the romance, while others couldn’t help but giggle at the bizarrely personal detail.
“Respect to Wang Yiran for being honest,” one fan wrote. “But bro, please go easy on the beans next time!”
Whatever happens next, Wang Yiran’s short drama reign shows no sign of slowing down. Breakup or not, it looks like he’ll keep winning audiences — even if some people wish he’d keep his wind under control.
