Just when we thought the break-up scandal between Show Luo and his Chinese influencer ex-girlfriend Grace Chow has died down (can you believe it’s been almost a month since Grace confirmed their split), the Taiwanese singer suddenly broke the Internet again with a super lengthy apology letter on Weibo.

This morning (May 20), the disgraced star uploaded a 7,000-word post, though it reads more like a short story, condensing their nine-year romance into 20 days, along with throwback pics of him and Grace in much happier times.

In his post, which was titled “Boy and Girl”, Show Luo detailed how they met, fell in love and their subsequent split. He also thanked Grace for her nine years of love, and went on to end his post by admitting he was in the wrong.

He started the post, recounting the first day they got acquainted.

“May 1, the day we met.
It wasn’t a particularly special day.
The boy received a familiar call after work, had dinner with familiar friends and talked about familiar topics.
But that day, an unfamiliar you showed up.
And all of a sudden, the day became special…
A girl, a girl who made me nervous for unknown reasons.
The boy was eating his meal. The very observant boy kept looking around.
At a glance, he could tell that she was slightly unnatural… She had chipped nail polish.
Her hair extensions were beautiful, but it looks like she's had them for quite some time.
It wasn't a good conversation topic, but the boy still made fun of them.
Unexpectedly, she responded graciously.
She said: “Yes, I don’t feel comfortable with myself so I didn’t want to come in the first place.”
But thankfully, you came.”

    He went on to describe the highs and lows of their relationship before ending his post with the last entry, which was dated today.

    “May 20.
    This is the longest time I’ve spent alone in years.
    I have to face up to myself honestly.
    Recalling the past nine years.
    You are a person who pursues perfection, but because of my imperfection, it destroyed your principles.
    But I am still very glad that we managed to do so many things together, experienced the joy of success together and faced our pains together.
    We grew together.
    Just like you said, most of our relationship was filled with happy memories.
    You rarely made me worry.
    But I caused you unhappiness.
    During work, I often face a lot of pressure.
    But you’ll always find a way to help me cope.
    When I was having a hard time filming The Mermaid, you’d come to my hotel to accompany me and chat with me. I felt very relaxed.

    He continued:
    But the pain I have caused you over the years…
    You’d never let others know.
    Recently, I’ve been constantly reflecting on myself.
    This incident has taught me to face up to situations bravely and not run away.
    So, let me tell you this once again.
    I am sorry, I was wrong.
    I’m sorry.
    I didn't send you this final entry.
    I chose to post this publicly to fulfill the wish you’ve always wanted to fulfill.
    Girl: “Hubby, can I post the picture we took together in front of the Eiffel Tower? Please?”
    This time round, I give you my word. Le me share it with everyone.
    This is our story…”

    Which was how Show ended his, um, breakup thesis.

    However, as sorry as Show sounded, not once did he address Grace’s allegations of his incessant cheating, and his predilection for one-night stands, and um, “multi-player sports”.

    The 40-year-old’s post was so widely shared that Weibo's server was down for a short time this morning due to the unexpectedly high traffic. Fans who managed to read Show Luo’s entire post noticed that he had posted it at 9:12am, which they say was a reference to Grace’s birthday on Sept 12. Despite his romantic gesture, many netizens were left unimpressed by what he wrote, with some saying that they felt disgusted and that he's “doing all this just to get back into the public's good graces .
