The separation is difficult because the couple is newly wed. Chao met her match in April 2010, when she was just starting up her public relations company. The two quickly fell in love and got married earlier this year.

Because they cannot afford sky-high property prices in Shanghai, her husband has chosen to live in his parents' house in the suburbs, while Chao rents a room near her company.

Every weekend, Chao makes the long commute back to the suburbs.

"We are passionately happy on Friday and the weekend, but it's sad when Monday comes and sometimes we quarrel. During the week, we count the time until we can be together," Chao says.

The separation is telling on the relationship and Chao says she cannot help yelling at her husband, even though she always feels guilty afterwards.

Because of their inexperience, Chao's first pregnancy miscarried at 50 days, which has added to her depression.
