A wild lawsuit in China just proved that some beauty secrets can cost way more than a premium skincare routine.

The Price of Beauty Gone Wrong

Jian Feng was living what he thought was a picture-perfect life with his beautiful wife until their first child arrived.

Jian Feng’s world turned upside down when he noticed his daughter looked nothing like him or his beautiful wife. As his daughter grew, the differences became so stark that he became convinced there was only one explanation

Convinced his wife must have cheated on him (because how else could their child look so different?), Feng launched into months of accusations. Under the pressure, his wife finally cracked – but not with the confession he expected.

Instead of admitting to an affair, she revealed her $100,000 pre-marriage secret: extensive plastic surgery that completely transformed her appearance.

Rather than accepting his wife’s past, Feng took her to court, claiming he’d been deceived about her true appearance.

In a jaw-dropping verdict that’s making headlines worldwide, a male judge awarded Feng a massive $120,000 settlement. Yes, you read that right – he actually won.

While the internet buzzes about this woman’s dramatic before-and-after photos (which are definitely giving plastic surgery masterclass), the bigger story might be about what beauty standards and societal pressure can drive people to do.

Source material obtained from various international news outlets reporting on the viral case in China. The wife’s identity remains undisclosed despite her photos being widely circulated online.

I think the most useful thing we learned here is that we can't trust any stories posted on the Daily Atomic web site....

Pretty sure this story is both years old and not real. It was an add campaign originally.

I am that baby. I'm 55 years old now.
