Asia Hsien: "The Goddess of Young Men Hunting" of showbiz at one time, bitter old age

Once having a flourishing career, admired by everyone, but Xiao Yaxuan has gone downhill in her old age without the halo of a celebrity. Now, looking at the face of the one-time "goddess" makes everyone feel sorry.

Once one of the most brilliant icons of Taiwanese pop music (China), she is considered a diva with a successful career in showbiz, not only because of her attractive singing voice and performance style, but also because of her liberal and daring love life to the point of becoming a "legend" in the entertainment industry. For more than two decades, she has made the media and fans "stirred up" with a series of love affairs with younger men, many of whom were not yet 25 years old. However, when she turned 45, the image of Xiao Yaxuan reappeared, surprising the public: a tired face, lines changed after many surgeries and eyes that were no longer as bright as before.

Xiao Yaxuan: The Rebel Goddess of the 2000s Generation

Debuting in 1999, Xiao Yaxuan quickly rose to become a new generation diva thanks to her unique voice, attractive appearance and confident stage presence. During her heyday, she did not hesitate to express her personality through music and her personal life. While many artists choose to keep their love life private to protect their image, Xiao Yaxuan is straightforward and bold in publicizing it.

The first boyfriend she announced was singer Chu Pham Cuong. After that, her love history continued with famous names such as Edison Chen, Kha Chan Dong and most recently, the young master Hoang Hao - 16 years younger than her. The statement "I don't love men over 25" once caused a stir in the entertainment industry, at the same time deeply engraved the image of "goddess of hunting young men" in the public's eyes.

Each of Xiao Yaxuan’s relationships became the focus of the media. Some admired her courage and freedom in love, while others criticized her for being frivolous and impulsive. But no matter how passionately in love, these relationships ended, leaving behind wounds that only those involved could fully understand.

Behind the halo: wounds that do not heal easily

Xiao Ya Xian once loved with all her heart, thought about marriage, and considered love as everything. But the men who passed through her life, none of them stayed for long. Some left because of public pressure, some couldn't stand the shadow of their famous girlfriend. In the end, the one who suffered the deepest pain was still her.

During her years at the top, Xiao Yaxuan not only faced emotional pressure but also physical injuries. Constant training and performing caused severe damage to her hips, forcing her to undergo four surgeries and long-term painkiller injections. At one point, she was barely able to walk.

But the biggest shock came from an unexpected incident, when her pet bit her face, leaving two long scars. To fix it, Xiao Yaxuan had to undergo reconstructive surgery. She admitted that she regretted "going under the knife", especially when the result changed her face. However, at that time, she was sinking into depression and despair, needing something - even a change in appearance - to feel that she still had value.

Returning at the age of 45 but with a different image

In 2025, Xiao Yaxuan unexpectedly returned in the reality show Forty-Eighth Years Old. In one scene, she sat alone in a coffee shop, sunlight streaming through the window, illuminating her face, which had changed dramatically: dark circles under her eyes, rough cheekbones, a sharp nose, and unfamiliar features. Fans could not hide their shock: "Is this still our Xiao Yaxuan?"

The audience's reaction was divided into two streams. One side thought that she was too obsessed with beauty, too afraid of aging, so she indulged in plastic surgery. The other side sympathized, understanding that those changes not only stemmed from aesthetic desires, but also from unexpected events.

Xiao Yaxuan once said: "I used to live like fire, now I want to live like gentle sunlight." That sentence is like a summary of her journey from passionate youth to the present. After losing the spotlight, the applause and even the noisy love affairs, she chose to come back not to regain the spotlight, but to prove that she can still move forward.

Amidst the loss of beauty, health and love, she learned to appreciate peace. For 45-year-old Xiao Yaxuan, victory is no longer standing at the top of showbiz, but finding herself again after all the storms.

Xiao Yaxuan’s life is a clear example of the downside of fame and unlimited freedom. When she was young, she had it all: a brilliant career, captivating beauty, love affairs that were talked about all over Asia. But after more than two decades, what she has retained is not the title or the hit songs, but the lesson of loving yourself more than anyone else.

Xiao Yaxuan's story also provides a different perspective on the pressure that women in the entertainment industry have to endure. There, age, appearance, and love affairs all become topics of constant scrutiny. Sometimes, it is this strictness that pushes them to make extreme decisions. Not only Xiao Yaxuan, but many female artists in showbiz always "follow" beauty trends, regardless of the long-term consequences that these beauty methods leave behind. When they are no longer young, the "complications" of beauty begin to appear densely on their face or body, then they regret it too late.

In the case of Xiao Yaxuan, the one-time goddess of Taiwanese pop music, she could not avoid the consequences of following the beauty trends of the past. However, today, Xiao Yaxuan is no longer the most brilliant "man-killing goddess" in Cbiz. But she is more genuine than ever. No more challenging statements, no more bold images on magazine covers, instead she is a woman at peace with herself.

Perhaps, it was in that seemingly bitter ending that Xiao Yaxuan truly began to live not for the public, not for love, but for herself. Her peaceful life at this age is also supported by more people than her previous glamorous life.
