Becoming a streamer or an internet celebrity with a huge following has never been easy. Sometimes, just having a good-looking face or a slightly sexy figure can help someone become a popular streamer, receiving tons of donations from fans. But even without natural looks, many use apps and filters that can completely change or enhance a streamer’s appearance.

However, these transformations don’t always end well. Recently, a story that’s both funny and sad caught the internet’s attention. The identities of the two main people involved were kept secret, but the details shocked many. A young guy, a huge fan of a female streamer, decided to donate 1,200 yuan (about 4 million VND or $170) to her and even asked her out to dinner. Luckily, she agreed.

But the reality was harsh. No one expected the streamer’s real appearance to be so different from her online image, which was heavily edited with countless apps designed to fool viewers. Feeling cheated, the guy demanded a refund of his donation, convinced he had been tricked. This led to a heated argument between them late at night. Eventually, they couldn’t settle it and ended up going to the police station to sort things out.

After some mediation, the police and the guy agreed to contact the livestream platform to discuss a refund, ending the bizarre drama. It’s unclear who was really at fault here, but this story serves as a harsh reminder: don’t trust everything you see online.
