An awkward love story is creating a storm on social media, as a young girl, after suffering deep wounds from a past relationship, has set an “out-of-this-world” demand for her current boyfriend: he must prepare a dowry of 10 million RMB (approximately 36.5 billion VND) before they can proceed to marriage. This story not only astonishes the online community but also sparks a heated debate about the value of love and practicality in modern society.
An 8-Year Relationship and a “Harsh” Ending
Specifically, at a blind dating event hosted by Wang Ba in Kaifeng, Henan, a young girl with her face covered by a white cloth expressed her desire for an engagement gift worth 10 million RMB. Upon hearing this figure, even Wang Ba was taken aback, directly asking the woman: “Are you dreaming?”.
According to what the girl shared, the reason behind this surprising demand stems from a “painful” past. She dedicated a full 8 years of her youth living together with her ex-boyfriend. Their love was deep and long-lasting, leading her to believe that a happy wedding was just a matter of time. However, all hope shattered when she discovered that she had been betrayed. The relationship ended bitterly, and she bore the greatest pain, feeling that she had lost 8 invaluable years of youth.
This betrayal left a huge scar in the girl’s heart, causing her to lose trust and become more cautious about love. Before finding a new partner and starting to think about marriage, the wounds from the past compelled her to find a way to protect herself, ensuring that she would not suffer any more losses.
Since then, the girl made a shocking decision: demanding her current boyfriend to prepare a massive dowry of over 36 billion VND.
This demand is not just a random number; she explained it as the “cost” to compensate for the losses of time and emotions over 8 years of cohabitation. She believes that this amount is not only a financial guarantee but also a testament to the sincerity, seriousness, and value that her new boyfriend offers her, unlike what her ex did.
It can be seen that this young girl is quite confident. She appeared with a veil because she hopes that the boys who like her will appreciate her inner beauty more than her appearance. However, viewers can also clearly see that the “10 million” girl is very beautiful. Some opinions suggest that she has no intention of going for a match but is just trying to leverage Wang Ba’s fame to become a sensation overnight.
Mixed Reactions from the Online Community
Some people express understanding for the girl. They argue that 8 years of a woman’s youth is incredibly valuable, especially when it does not lead to a happy ending. The girl has the right to demand compensation and a solid guarantee for her future to make up for her past hurts. Asking for a large dowry is seen as a way for her to protect herself from similar risks and suffering.
However, the majority of the online community vehemently condemns her demand. They believe that asking for such an enormous amount of money is unreasonable, pragmatic, and disrespectful to love. The new boyfriend is completely innocent in her previous relationship, and making him pay for someone else’s mistakes is unfair.
Some straightforward opinions point out that love cannot be bought or valued in monetary terms. Marriage should be built on the foundation of trust, understanding, and genuine feelings, not an economic contract. The girl’s demand has turned marriage into a transaction, making the other party feel like they are being “priced” and “paying for” someone unrelated.
The girl’s behavior may stem from her trauma, but the way she chooses to address the issue has sparked much controversy. Perhaps, instead of seeking material compensation from her new partner, what she truly needs is time to heal her emotional wounds and regain her trust in love, so she can once again love fully and unconditionally.
This incident serves as a reminder that while love can bring pain, it is still a sacred emotion that cannot be quantified, and seeking true happiness requires courage and sincerity, not a massive sum of money.
