I’m sure everyone has seen the viral Sun Yuchen‑Jing Tian drama blowing up these past couple of days.
On August 27th, Sun Yuchen suddenly posted a lengthy essay on social media titled My Girlfriend Jing Tian. Its explosive content sent three related hashtags straight to the top three spots on Weibo’s hot‑search list.

From Xiaolei Chatterbox (ID: xiaoleibbb). Honestly, I’ve seen plenty of relationship announcements, but never one quite like this.
Most people would just pen a few sweet words to go public with their romance. Sun Yuchen, however, churned out what reads like a piece of documentary‑style writing. He laid bare every little detail of their relationship, the gifts he gave her, and all the expenses for netizens to pore over.
Yet the juicy gossip barely lasted two days before things took a sharp turn for the worse.
Shortly after the long post went live, Sun Yuchen’s legal representative Zhang Qihuai confirmed publicly that Sun had formally filed a civil lawsuit against Jing Tian and her parents. The claim amounts to over 30 million yuan, and the case has now been accepted by the court.

By August 28, Jing Tian came out with her response. She stated clearly that she would never sell her love or soul for money — not in the past, not now, and not in the future. She also self‑deprecatingly admitted that her judgment was still poor and she still lacked wisdom.
In Xiaolei’s view, the real breakout element that has sparked endless online memes throughout this whole incident is AI.
In his lengthy post, Sun Yuchen revealed that he was torn over whether to pay Jing Tian 50 million US dollars. Surprisingly, he turned to Claude AI, asking the artificial intelligence whether he should make that payment.
The AI gave a blunt and unambiguous answer: do not give the money.

This single AI model ignited the creative drive across the entire internet, spawning floods of jokes and meme images.
Netizens joked that “Claude is the behind‑the‑scenes strategist who broke up the couple” and “So a large language model is the ultimate advisor for wealthy people in love.”
In the old days, women would turn to their girlfriends to size up a potential partner. Now wealthy men consult AI to figure out whether a relationship is worth it. While friends might urge you to prioritize love, AI lays out the cold hard facts: don’t get played for a sucker.
The meme‑making crowd soon grew tired of just cracking jokes. They fired up various AI tools and joined in the collective meme fest.
Some netizens used AI to write parodies in the exact style of Sun Yuchen’s post.

Some netizens also leveraged AI to churn out fictional short‑novel‑style drama scripts.

But for Xiaolei Chatterbox (ID: xiaoleibbb), the funniest part is that Zhang Xiaoquan, a brand totally out of left field in this saga, has ended up as an unlikely winner. Numerous netizens have made AI‑generated derivative posters for Zhang Xiaoquan nail clippers.

What’s even more absurd is that Zhang Xiaoquan’s stock once hit the daily limit‑up. Netizens joked that it had become a “Sun Yuchen‑concept stock”.

Anyone familiar with Sun Yuchen knows that courting controversy for attention has long been his trademark. He once pulled off an internet‑sensational stunt: bidding 45 million to win the famous high‑priced banana artwork, only to eat it on the spot.
Back then, everyone blasted him for self‑promotion and chasing clout. Yet this single incident earned him massive global exposure and boosted his reputation further within the crypto circle.
So it comes as no surprise that many netizens’ first reaction to this thousand‑word long‑post drama was: Is this another publicity stunt?
If you walk through the whole incident, you will notice how suspiciously convenient everything is. A female celebrity, a wealthy tycoon, a romantic dispute, plus the red‑hot AI trend — every ingredient needed to blow up social media has been assembled.

For someone like Sun Yuchen, even if the whole internet roasts him for his shameless tactics and he is mired in controversy, as long as his name dominates trending lists for days on end and his business projects profit from this wave of hype, it is a win‑win deal for him.
He knows that monetizing traffic and public attention is what he does best.
That said, as outsiders, we cannot tell who is in the right or wrong in this romantic entanglement. The truth behind the more than 30‑million‑yuan financial dispute will ultimately hinge on the court’s ruling.
With all that being said, do you think Sun Yuchen’s whole move is a carefully orchestrated publicity stunt? Could you accept turning to AI to decide how much you should invest in a relationship? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section, and let’s discuss this together.
