A Beijing court has sentenced runaway bride Sun Yali to return the BMW car to her ex-fiancé.
The car, worth 296,900 yuan (RM148,600) was given to Sun in the form of bride price gift, by E Jiehao.
As the vehicle was registered under Sun's name and had been used, the court then ordered the part-time actress to pay 280,000 yuan (RM140,143) to E on Friday.
E, a 24-year-old image consultant, met Sun, 22, through a popular match-making TV programme If You Are The One in China around September last year.
Although the pair did not work out in the show, they kept in touch and dated the following month.
After going out for two months, the couple engaged and planned to tie the knot.
Then, E gave Sun the car and an LCD TV as wedding gifts, upon her request.
But later, Sun broke the engagement promise after finding out that the fiancé was not as rich as she thought he was.
E demanded Sun to return the car but she refused. He then filed a lawsuit against Sun at Chaoyang District People' Court in Beijing in May.
Sun has yet to decide if she wanted to appeal.
