A Chinese dating platform has introduced an unusual marriage guarantee, promising to refund users’ membership fees if they fail to get married within three years of joining.
The app, called Liangpei AI, uses artificial intelligence to help people find suitable marriage partners. The service has attracted attention because its business model focuses on helping users find a life partner rather than keeping them active on the platform for long periods.
The platform charges a membership fee of 2,000 Chinese yuan, approximately $300. Users who remain unmarried after three years are promised a full refund of their membership fee.
Unlike traditional dating applications, Liangpei AI allows users to communicate with only one potential partner at a time. Members must end their existing match before receiving another recommendation.
New users complete a 20-minute conversation with an AI matchmaker, answering questions about their family background, education, career, personality, lifestyle and expectations from marriage. The system then analyses their responses to identify compatible partners.
The platform also requires real-name registration, photographs and verification of users’ unmarried status to reduce fake profiles and prevent married individuals from joining.
The app was launched in July 2026 by Chinese entrepreneur Zeng Xinxun. Reports indicate that it has attracted more than 35,000 registered users and secured 15 million yuan in investment.
The company’s unusual refund promise has sparked discussions about the future of online matchmaking and the growing role of artificial intelligence in personal relationships.
However, the three-year guarantee remains untested, as the first eligible refund deadlines will arrive in 2029.
