A Chinese woman who demanded to know why her boyfriend had dumped her was shocked to discover that he was actually a woman in disguise.
Wang Qi, 40, met her boyfriend online and had at first resisted his advances.
She told Chinese media that he persisted even though he knew she had a young son, they had gradually become friends online and later met.
Once together, the friendship grew stronger and developed into a romantic relationship.
Wang said that they had shared intimate moments in bed together but not had intercourse as her boyfriend had told her they should wait until after their planned wedding.
