When I first came
across a "virtual lover" service on e-commerce site Taobao , China 's
version of Amazon, I thought it was hype.
For an average of 20
yuan ($3) per day, it claimed you could hire a boyfriend or girlfriend to talk
on the phone or chat online to make you feel like you're in love.
The service varies but
it includes wake-up calls, text and voice messages, phone calls and goodnight
wishes.
As the largest online
shopping platform in China ,
Taobao vendors sell anything they can think of as long as it's not illegal.
