Xiaohongshu account uses AI painting to create a healing life diary: one thousand powder per week

Status note: This case study reflects the 2024–2025 wave of AI content monetization on Chinese social platforms. As of late 2026 this niche is largely saturated: entry-level versions of the format are mass-produced, distribution thresholds have risen, and the numbers cited reflect an earlier window. The durable takeaways are the workflow itself — topic selection, batch production with human review, consistent publishing — which still apply to whichever niche is under-served today.

Monetization Angle

Create a healing diary video through AI painting, attract the attention of Xiaohongshu users, and realize monetization by planting grass, bringing goods, receiving business orders, or teaching AI painting skills. For example, Xiaohongshu blogger "An 'an's Life Diary" released three AI painting videos of female solitary diaries, gaining more than 1,000 fans.

Best For

It is suitable for individuals who are interested in AI painting and want to create content and commercial operations on platforms such as Xiaohongshu.

Difficulty

Case Review

The case successfully attracted a large number of fans by making a diary video of the life of the healing department through AI painting. The video content is close to the life of modern urban people, which is easy to resonate with, so it quickly grows in popularity. At the same time, the video's appeal is enhanced by careful dubbing and soundtrack selection. In terms of monetization, the account has a variety of possibilities, including taking goods, accepting business orders, etc., and has good business potential.

Stable Diffusion checkpoints and the LoRA files used to keep the character consistent are hosted on Hugging Face, the main open repository for model weights.
