A Cure for Sleeplessness

[Spoiling and pampering + powerful, ultra-cool heroine + secret love and healing + showbiz + wealthy family] The first time they met, Shi Qing noticed him at once among the boy-band trainees preparing to debut. Brilliant lights spilled over the young man, tracing his handsome, refined features. There was a rare, pure quality about him, like the cool, quiet elegance of white jasmine, and it drew people in without him even trying. Jiang Liyu was born with a clear, captivating voice and an extraordinary gift for singing and composing. But he was held back by the fact that he had neither a powerful family behind him nor anyone to provide him with resources and support. His fate changed that night. With a smile, Shi Qing reached out and pulled him from the shadows of the corner where he had spent so long. He told himself he had to keep working hard so he could repay her one day. Later, on every sleepless night, Shi Qing would put on her headphones and listen to Jiang Liyu’s latest songs. His voice was clear, and his gentle, murmured words were like a lullaby that soothed her to sleep. After a dance party one night, he walked her home while she was drunk. In his arms, she murmured, “Jiang Liyu, I want…” His voice low and husky, he coaxed her gently. “What do you want, hmm?” Shi Qing pouted without realizing it. “I want you to… sing me to sleep yourself.” He chuckled, his voice full of affection. “Okay.” By then, Jiang Liyu had become famous across the country. Shi Qing thought he shouldn’t be caught up in needless rumors, so she deliberately kept her distance. One night, after her childhood friend personally walked her home, she saw a dejected figure crouching in the shadows outside her door. It was Jiang Liyu. He rushed forward and wrapped his arms around Shi Qing, burying his face against her neck as he rasped pleadingly, “Qingqing… please don’t leave me, okay?”
