In a recent viral post on Chinese social media, a woman outlined a controversial "method" to marry into wealth, drawing a flurry of reactions online. The post, which advocates for women seeking out work as nannies in wealthy households as a way to connect with and potentially marry affluent young men, has sparked intense discussions about class, ambition, and the lengths to which some people are willing to go to change their social standing.
The woman, who claims to be 32 years old and describes her appearance as “6 out of 10” with makeup, shared her belief that her method could help her and other women marry into wealth. She calls it a “shameless” strategy, saying it requires setting aside dignity to achieve the goal of a “high-level marriage.”
Her post explains that she, and other women around her age, might not have as much appeal as younger women when trying to attract wealthy suitors directly. Instead, she suggests taking a "side route" by applying for nanny positions in wealthy households. The woman argues that once in these positions, they would have access to the homeowners’ social circles, including young, affluent men - preferably "second-generation rich kids" in their early twenties.
Acknowledging potential skepticism from readers, she emphasizes targeting "social outliers" within these wealthy circles, specifically younger men who may lack confidence or social experience. According to her, these “edge characters” are often isolated from attention within their social groups, making them easier to approach and potentially pursue.
The post has sparked strong reactions online, with some netizens condemning the strategy as manipulative and materialistic. One user commented, "This is why some people are still single at 32; their focus is entirely on money." Another wrote, "It's so sad to see people willing to throw away dignity for a marriage based on money rather than love."
Others pointed out that targeting wealthy young men with confidence issues could be exploitative. “Imagine being that young man’s family - someone hires a nanny, only to have her scheme to marry your son,” one user remarked. Another person criticized the lack of personal ambition, saying, "Instead of working hard to improve yourself, you’re trying to take advantage of others. This will only backfire in the long run."
However, some commenters found humor in the post. "Good luck with that plan! You'll either end up in a drama series or a news headline," joked one user. Another sarcastically noted, "Why stop there? Maybe apply as a housekeeper in a royal family next."
The original author addressed potential objections by noting that many young women are naturally attracted to powerful and wealthy men but often set their sights on "top-tier” individuals who are unlikely to be interested in them. Instead, she advises aiming lower within the wealthy social hierarchy - targeting those “under the radar” who may be more accessible.
In her conclusion, she encouraged other women to share her ambition for a “bright and promising future,” rejecting the idea of settling for “ordinary men” or being limited to the “mundane life” of a typical family. “Are we born into this world just to live out ordinary lives?” she asks rhetorically, advocating for a collective effort to move up the social ladder.
