Viral Chinese AI Microdrama Puts 4,735 Bitcoin at Center of Revenge Plot
China’s booming microdrama market has relied on fast-moving tales of divorce, betrayal and comeback fortunes to attract mobile viewers. The viral AI-produced series, whose title translates as “I Only Discovered I Had 4,735 Bitcoin When I Was Getting Divorced,” adapts that formula to crypto culture. Its popularity shows how digital assets are moving beyond trading circles into mainstream entertainment as generative AI lowers production barriers for short-form video.
The series follows a man who, while arranging a divorce, discovers that an old wallet contains 4,735 Bitcoin and uses the windfall to reverse his fortunes. The mix of revenge melodrama, crypto mythology and AI production has drawn broad discussion among Chinese crypto audiences. As of July 23, 2026, available reporting had not identified the production company, exact release date, viewership figures or a fiat valuation for the wallet.
