She then turned around and sued him, demanding a divorce and the division of that 99% of the property.The young man is called A Liang, and the woman is A Ling, 36, with a child. They met on a ride-sharing service; one is a securities salesperson, the other a real estate agent. A Ling understood him very well.A Liang thought he had found true love and plunged headfirst into the relationship, getting their marriage certificate within ten months.After marriage, A Ling looked at him, sighed softly, and said their daughter needed to go to school, so her household registration had to be moved here. "What about this house..."Without a second thought, A Liang first transferred the house, which was under his parents' names, entirely into his own name. Immediately after, he kept it from his parents and took A Ling to the property registration center.At the moment he signed the documents, what was probably on his mind was the good life for their family of three in the future.But that good life never came.Over a minor issue, they had an argument, and A Ling moved out directly. Once she left, she never came back.Then, a lawsuit was served to A Liang. Divorce.A Ling was clever. In her first filing, she didn't mention the house at all. Only after the court's divorce ruling took effect did she produce that property deed and file another lawsuit, demanding the division of the 99% that belonged to her.Black and white, clear property rights. By convention, the house was almost certainly hers.In the courtroom, the air was almost frozen. Everyone thought A Liang was bound to lose.But the judge rapped the table and said something.He said the law protects property registration, but it must also uphold fairness and good faith. Giving a house between spouses is not a pure transaction; behind it lies the promise of building a life together, the intention of "living together long-term."When that promise fails, the foundation of the gift is shaken.The judge looked at A Ling and said, word by word, "You lived together for only six months. You made not a single monetary contribution to this house. Now you want to take 99%. This isn't dividing property; this is using marriage to seek improper gain."The final ruling: the house goes to A Liang. But he must compensate A Ling with 500,000 yuan.A scheme for nearly ten million yuan ended up netting only 500,000.Some say her move was brilliant; even though she didn't get the big prize, she walked away with 500,000 for free. Others say she calculated everything except human nature and justice.What do you think about this?" datetime: "2026-03-26T15:04:46.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/39553261.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/39553261.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/39553261.md) author: "[浩浩荡荡](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/profiles/19784218.md)" --- > 支持的语言: [English](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/39553261.md) | [繁體中文](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/39553261.md) # A divorce case in Shanghai has completely changed …
