A 23-year-old woman’s fantasies of meeting her online beau for the first time didn’t quite go as expected. Apparently, her prince turned out to be not-so-charming as upon setting eyes on him, she tried to kill herself not once, but multiple times.
Her distraught mother revealed that her family was against the relationship from the start, as her daughter was ten years younger than the man. The two had met online and promptly started dating. Against her family’s wishes, the woman traveled from her Jilin Province hometown to Heilongjiang in pursuit of her happily ever after.
Happiness, though, proved elusive. Police were even alerted to the scene, the seventh floor of a hotel where the virtual lovers had set up their rendezvous. As soon as she caught sight of the cops, the upset woman ran to the balcony and threatened to jump down, all the while furiously shouting at the jilted prince: “You cheated me!”
The police separated the two, but while the cops were trying to calm the woman down, she grabbed a handful of sleeping pills as well as a piece of broken glass to slit her wrists. The policemen responded quickly, however, preventing disaster and sending her off to the hospital for treatment.
