Liang Caiyu, the wife, and He Xiansheng, both in their twenties and from Dongguan, Guangdong province, catapulted to fame on social media with short videos showcasing their striking likeness.

One viral video on their Douyin account, which has 21,000 followers, titled “Who’s the Husband, Who’s the Wife?”, features the couple in matching wigs, mirroring each other’s expressions, and standing side by side, creating an almost copy-and-paste effect.

In another video, “Putting Makeup on My Husband,” the husband transforms to look just like his wife after a makeover, with the clip captioned “We are really sisters now” receiving 352,000 likes.

According to Liang, the couple, each hailing from families with a 40-year legacy in the traditional herbal medicine business, met through a blind date and married six months later.

After tying the knot, they co-founded a herbal medicine shop in 2023. The husband formulates herbal soups and tea blends, while the wife manages promotions.
