NK wouldn't stand much chance if China went there, at most targetting Bejing with a nuke (which likely would be intercepted).
If China stopped propping it up, they'd likely starve and a lot of people would start streaming into China.

Seoul though is in much more danger and it's too close for an intercept.

Believe me, China is not amused and
if NK hit south Korea with a nuke, the first one that would obliterate them would not be the US, but China.
They're close too, so it would be quick.

There would be no WWIII though, cause no one would support NK and then they'd be gone.
Other, than the massive loss of lives and industrial capacity in Seoul.
The economic consequence in the region would be pretty severe for many years.
