It's Singles Day in China on Tuesday, a type of Valentine's Day that sees people celebrate their single status by buying billions of dollars worth of items online.
But one Chinese programmer was so sick of being single that he spent more than £50,000 buying 99 iPhone 6s to propose to his girlfriend.
The problem is, she said no.
The young Guagzhou tech worker spent 500,000 yuan (£51,543) on Apple's latest gadget, the equivalent of two years' annual salary in the country.
He carefully arranged the iPhones into the shape of a heart, and even had some money left over to buy a bunch of flowers. So far, so good, right?
Not quite. In front of his colleagues and friends, she turned him down, with the resulting photos emerging on the Weibo social network.
If you're looking for a cheap iPhone 6, you know who to call.

Every time I see a story like this, I just don't understand how it happens...
If your relationship isn't developed to the point that you've already pretty much mutually decided that getting married is what you both want to do, and thus "popping the question" is really just a romantic formality, then you probably shouldn't be asking the question in the first place...

Young couples swap rings for smartphones
YOUNG North Koreans are choosing cellphones over engagement rings as symbols of their engagement, according to a dissident newspaper. Exchanging smartphones has surpassed the more traditional giving and receiving of rings, the Japan-based Daily NK reported, quoting sources within North Korea.
“The top present for people tying the knot is the mobile phone,” a woman in North Hamgyung Province said. In the same way as a ring in other cultures signifies that a woman is getting married, showing off a new cellphone conveys the same message in North Korea. — © The Daily Telegraph
Ah! Exchanging ring tones! Kamsa hamnida
