Sunny Piggy is a 2000 Chinese romantic fantasy comedy-drama television series.
It stars Xu Zheng as Zhu Bajie, a foolish pig (and farting machine) who wanted to become human, and Tao Hong as a kindhearted dragon princess who loved him unconditionally until her death.
Copyrights were sold to 13 national television stations, which began broadcasting it almost simultaneously in January 2000.
