The man from northern China’s Tianjin municipality, surnamed Wang, met his girlfriend surnamed Li on an online dating platform.
Li said she was single and beautiful, and owned multiple properties and a jewellery store.
They began dating after meeting in person.
Wang was convinced of Li’s wealth after she offered him some gifts and shared photos of her properties on social media.

As they were about to tie the knot, Li requested Wang to perform the “marriage bed burning” ritual for her ex-husband, who died a few years ago from illness.
