Xiaoli China Story: Can someone buy their dream home just through dating? A Chinese woman, Xiaoli, did just that, and her story is once again making waves on social media. Xiaoli turned love and relationships into a unique investment for her financial planning.

The masterplan of 20 boyfriends and 20 iPhones
Although this incident happened in 2016, it remains a topic of discussion on the internet even today due to its unique strategy. Xiaoli dated 20 men simultaneously. She asked each of her boyfriends for the latest iPhone 7 as a gift. Surprisingly, all 20 boyfriends agreed to gift her the phone. Once she had collected 20 iPhones, she sold them to a mobile recycling site (Hui Shou Bao) instead of using them.

How did you buy your dream home?
Selling those 20 phones earned Xiaoli approximately 120,000 Chinese yuan (approximately 1.2 million to 1.5 million Indian rupees at the time). Xiaoli used the money as a down payment to buy a luxurious home. When Xiaoli showed her new home to her friends and explained the source of the money, everyone was stunned.

Debate erupted on social media
The hashtag #20MobilesForAHouse became a top trend on China’s social media platform Weibo. The incident divided internet users. Many praised Xiaoli, saying she used her intelligence and resources wisely to buy a home in a time of inflation. A larger section called it emotional fraud, saying it was wrong to manipulate the feelings of 20 people in the name of love.
