A legal and personal dispute has emerged between Chinese actress Jing Tian and cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun. Sun, the founder of the blockchain platform Tron, has initiated legal action to recover 30 million yuan (approximately US$4.5 million), which he characterizes as a 'bride price' paid during their relationship.

Following the filing of the lawsuit, Sun took to social media on August 27 to publish a detailed account of their history, including sensitive personal topics such as surrogacy. In response, Jing Tian has publicly urged that the matter be resolved through the judicial system rather than through public discourse, stating, 'Never sell love for money.' The case has drawn significant attention due to the high profile of both individuals and the substantial financial sum involved in the recovery claim. While Sun has used public platforms to share his version of events, Jing Tian has maintained that the legal process is the appropriate venue for settling the disagreement.
