上海的黃先生原本以為夫妻之間只是進入倦怠期，卻逐漸察覺事情並不單純。妻子李女士近來明顯變得沉默寡言，對他的關心與交談日益冷淡，大多數時間都把注意力放在手機螢幕上，長時間觀看一名男主播小張的直播。起初，黃先生只是心生不滿與疑惑，並未往更嚴重的方向去想，直到一次整理家中物品時，他意外發現幾張借條，這才意識到問題可能已經超出想像。

面對詢問，李女士一開始解釋說只是臨時周轉資金，向親戚借錢應急，並未涉及其他問題。然而，當黃先生進一步追問家中原本存放的數十萬元人民幣存款去向時，李女士終於無法再隱瞞，承認這些積蓄早已陸續用於打賞男主播，在一次次直播互動中消耗殆盡。這個事實讓黃先生震驚不已，但在李女士痛哭道歉並承諾不再觀看直播後，他選擇相信與原諒。

然而，事情並未就此結束。李女士因為斷絕直播而情緒低落，精神狀態每況愈下，最終被醫院診斷為抑鬱症。出於多年夫妻情分與同情，黃先生更加不忍責備，甚至更加包容她的行為。沒想到的是，李女士表面上答應戒掉直播，私底下卻仍然偷偷打賞主播，金額不斷累積，最終總數接近一百萬元，遠遠超出一般娛樂消費的範圍。

當真相再次曝光時，黃先生的忍耐徹底崩潰。他認為這已不只是家庭糾紛，而是對自己權益的嚴重侵害，於是憤而將男主播小張告上法院，要求返還97萬元不當得利。案件進入司法程序後，黃先生才進一步得知，妻子與主播之間私下聯繫頻繁，熱聊時間已超過一年，聊天內容早已超越普通粉絲與主播的界線，李女士還多次透過微信直接轉帳給小張，形成更為緊密的私下往來。

法院在審理後認定，李女士與主播之間已構成不正當的親密關係，巨額打賞並非單純的娛樂消費，而是為了維繫該關係所進行的贈與行為。同時，這些資金屬於夫妻共同財產，李女士在未經丈夫同意的情況下，擅自處分如此高額的共同財產，已明顯損害黃先生的合法權益，因此相關贈與行為依法應屬無效。

在具體金額計算上，法院扣除直播平台的分成與相關稅費後，認定主播小張實際從打賞中獲得的收益為28萬元，再加上李女士透過微信直接轉帳的金額，最終判決小張需返還黃先生30餘萬元。這一判決既體現對夫妻共同財產的保護，也對直播打賞背後可能存在的不當關係作出明確的法律界定。

案件落幕後，這段已維持十年的婚姻也走到盡頭。經歷長期的信任崩解與情感消耗，黃先生最終選擇與李女士離婚。這起事件不僅揭示直播經濟背後潛藏的情感與金錢風險，也為公眾敲響警鐘：當虛擬互動突破界線，往往會對現實家庭與法律權益造成難以挽回的傷害。

Mr. Huang from Shanghai initially believed that his marriage was merely going through a period of emotional fatigue, but he gradually realized that the situation was far more serious. His wife, Ms. Li, had become increasingly withdrawn, speaking less and less with him and showing little interest in daily communication. Instead, she spent most of her time glued to her phone, obsessively watching the livestreams of a male streamer surnamed Zhang. At first, Mr. Huang felt only dissatisfaction and confusion, without suspecting anything extreme. However, while tidying up the house one day, he unexpectedly discovered several IOUs, which made him realize that something was seriously wrong.

When confronted, Ms. Li initially claimed that she had only borrowed money temporarily from relatives to cover short-term needs. Yet when Mr. Huang pressed further about the whereabouts of the family’s savings—amounting to several hundred thousand yuan—she could no longer keep up the lie. She finally confessed that all the money had been spent on tipping the male streamer, gradually drained away through repeated livestream donations. The revelation left Mr. Huang deeply shocked, but after Ms. Li broke down in tears and promised to stop watching livestreams, he chose to forgive her and give her another chance.

The matter, however, did not end there. After cutting herself off from livestreams, Ms. Li became emotionally depressed, her mental state deteriorated, and she was eventually diagnosed with clinical depression. Out of sympathy and concern for their years of marriage, Mr. Huang felt even more reluctant to blame her and became increasingly tolerant. Unexpectedly, despite her promises, Ms. Li secretly continued tipping the streamer. The amounts kept accumulating, eventually reaching nearly one million yuan—far beyond what could reasonably be considered normal entertainment spending.

When the truth came to light once again, Mr. Huang’s patience completely collapsed. Believing that the issue had gone beyond a family dispute and had seriously infringed upon his legal rights, he angrily filed a lawsuit against the streamer Zhang, demanding compensation of 970,000 yuan. During the legal proceedings, Mr. Huang learned even more disturbing details: his wife and the streamer had been privately chatting for over a year, with conversations that had clearly crossed appropriate boundaries. Ms. Li had also transferred money to Zhang multiple times via WeChat, forming an even closer private connection.

After hearing the case, the court determined that Ms. Li and the streamer had developed an improper intimate relationship. The large sums of money she tipped were not ordinary consumer spending but gifts intended to maintain that relationship. Moreover, the funds involved were part of the couple’s jointly owned marital property. By disposing of such a large amount without her husband’s consent, Ms. Li had clearly violated Mr. Huang’s lawful rights, rendering the gift transactions legally invalid.

In calculating the amount to be returned, the court deducted the livestream platform’s commission and relevant taxes, determining that the streamer’s actual income from the tips was 280,000 yuan. Adding the amounts transferred directly via WeChat, the court ultimately ruled that Zhang must return more than 300,000 yuan to Mr. Huang. The judgment not only upheld the protection of marital joint property but also drew a clear legal line regarding improper relationships hidden behind livestream tipping.

After the case concluded, the ten-year marriage also came to an end. Following prolonged erosion of trust and emotional exhaustion, Mr. Huang ultimately chose to divorce Ms. Li. The case exposed the emotional and financial risks lurking behind the livestream economy and served as a sobering warning to the public: when virtual interactions cross boundaries, they can cause irreversible harm to real families and legal rights.
