| Northern Lights, Diamond Beach, and a Ring: Jin Sha and Sun Chengxiao Are Officially Engaged (Photo: Weibo/Sohu) |
It’s official — Jin Sha and Sun Chengxiao are engaged, and the proposal couldn’t have been more cinematic if it tried.
The Chinese singer-actress shared the happy news on 23 December 2025, revealing that Sun Cheng Xiao popped the question beneath the northern lights at Iceland’s iconic Diamond Beach. Against a backdrop of glittering ice chunks and glowing skies, he got down on one knee, she said yes, and the moment ended with a kiss that felt straight out of a romance drama.
The couple kept the announcement simple but meaningful, captioning their post with:
“Time: 2025.12.23; Location: Iceland, Diamond Beach; Event: Proposal.”
No long speeches needed — the visuals said it all.

Footage from the proposal shows Sun Chengxiao kneeling on the icy black sand, holding out the ring as Jin Sha walks towards him.
The two share a warm embrace and a gentle kiss, looking completely at ease despite the dramatic natural setting.
Their outfits added a casual, down-to-earth touch to the moment.
Sun Chengxiao wore a black padded jacket with a blue beanie, while Jin Sha opted for a silver coat, grey hat, and red trousers — a playful red-and-blue pairing that fans quickly picked up on.
Many netizens also pointed out the symbolism of Diamond Beach itself, often associated with love that’s as enduring as ice and as precious as diamonds.
The couple first went public with their relationship in 2022, and from the start, it sparked conversation — mostly due to their age difference.
Official records list Jin Sha as born in 1983, while Sun Chengxiao was born in 2000, putting them 17 years apart. Jin Sha herself has previously mentioned a 19-year gap during variety show appearances, with both sticking to their own statements rather than online speculation.
Despite early scepticism, time has clearly worked in their favour.

Many fans now say the engagement proves the pair were “dating with marriage in mind” from the very beginning.
Online, the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. Comments like “Congratulations, Shasha, you’ve found the right one” and “This is the real-life version of Sniper Butterfly” flooded social media, referencing the popular C-drama centred on an older woman–younger man romance.

According to reports, Sun Chengxiao had been thinking about proposing for quite some time.
The couple’s journey hasn’t been rushed, but it has been steady.
From meeting through mutual friends in 2022 to quietly dating, appearing together on the reality show Love’s Study Trip in 2023, and openly discussing future plans, they’ve consistently shown alignment in values.
One topic that stood out to viewers was their mature approach to finances.

Both have spoken openly about the importance of clarity, with Sun Chengxiao expressing full support for pre-marital financial agreements — a stance that earned him praise for responsibility rather than showmanship.
Even during moments of online rumours earlier this year, the couple addressed speculation calmly and publicly, standing together without unnecessary drama.
Any Wedding Date Yet, lads?
For now, Jin Sha and Sun Chengxiao have not announced a wedding date. The focus, it seems, is on enjoying the moment and the new chapter they’ve chosen to begin together.
From icy beaches in Iceland to warmer public sentiment back home, their story has come full circle — from doubt and discussion to commitment and celebration. And judging by the reactions, many are genuinely happy to see love win, labels aside.
Congratulations to the newly engaged couple.
