Deceptive Matrimony Demands for Online Notoriety

Wearing a fake baby bump, she attended a local matchmaking corner, presenting a document detailing her personal information and setting forth requirements for a potential husband. Her demands included a house, a car, a monthly income exceeding 20,000 yuan, and kindness towards both her and the unborn child.

Viral Video Sparks Criticism and Police Investigation

In a viral video, she is seen holding a paper with her details written on it, stating, “32 years old, single, no property or car, five months pregnant.” The paper also outlines the criteria for a suitable husband. During interactions at the event, she tells a man showing interest, “Although the child is not yours, I’m yours. If you love me, you won’t care about whether the child is yours,” and suggests that her child would take his surname.

The stunt received criticism on social media, leading to a police investigation. The influencer later admitted that it was a publicity stunt to gain followers. Subsequently, her social media account appears to have been closed.
