Chinese Black Pigs and the Four Seasons

Lin Qingqiu, an up-and-coming star, joins a survival-game variety show and gets an unfair edit.

Viewers are outraged by her meddling, freeloading, fake-sweet behavior,

and her acting career comes crashing down.

At her lowest point, a lawyer calls.

The birth mother she was separated from as a child has left her a pig farm.

Lin Qingqiu: A pig farm? Have I really fallen this far?

Her assistant quits without hesitation and travels a thousand miles to join her.

She starts a video account called @PigRaisingBeauty, documenting the hardships of raising pigs in detail:

A big goose that doesn't know its place provokes a sow, so Lin Qingqiu grabs a shovel and breaks up the fight.

When a sow has a difficult birth, Lin Qingqiu sleeps in the pigsty to keep her company and carefully tends to her afterward.

When a mischievous piglet runs into the mountains and refuses to come home, Lin Qingqiu follows its tracks and manages to bring it back.

Netizens are stunned.

Is this really the same Lin Qingqiu who couldn't do anything on that variety show?

Her assistant interviews Lin Qingqiu on behalf of viewers everywhere:

How did you learn to do all this?

Lin Qingqiu smiles shyly.

I learned it all on that variety show.

Lin Qingqiu's fake sweetness pours out:

The production team provided us contestants with all kinds of professional instructors.

I learned so much without spending a penny.

I'm just so grateful~

When Yue Cangfeng was six, a new family moved into the villa next door.

The first time the two families met formally, Yue Cangfeng was stunned.

How could anyone be so adorable?

But this adorable girl was blind as a bat.

She followed Yue's poker-faced eldest son around all day, gazing at him as if he were an omnipotent creator god.

But she looked at the second son, who considered himself kind, wonderful, fierce, and irresistibly cool, with nothing but disdain.

Yue Cangfeng was hopping mad.

More than ten years later, the girl got engaged to his eldest brother.

Yue Cangfeng gave a lonely smile and headed for the southwestern border, where he represented his family's company in the construction of the first national park.

But Yue's iron-fisted eldest son flew 1,800 kilometers into the mountains after him. He didn't even care that his finely crafted leather shoes from Savile Row sank into suspicious black mud. Gritting his teeth, he demanded, “Where's your sister-in-law?”

Yue Cangfeng looked back at the familiar mountain forest.

Lin Qingqiu was in there surveying the terrain and planning a brand-new play area for the piglets.

He curled his lips at his elder brother. “Sister-in-law? What sister-in-law? I don't know anything about having one.”
