The Medicinal Value of My Rival [Showbiz]

[Next up: Which Pretty Boy Should I Torture Today? Please add it to your collection. The blurb is at the end.] Lu Chuan has a problem. Specifically, he can't fall asleep while listening to CET-4 and CET-6 listening exercises, reading obscure books before bed, or listening to the sound of rain in music. After a whole series of bizarre attempts, he manages to lull everyone else to sleep, while he alone is more energetic than ever, living up to his title as the champion night owl. Thanks to all those sleepless hours, he became a well-known workaholic in the industry, successfully transitioned from an idol with a huge fan following to a serious actor, and won the Best Actor award in television. Until one day, he met his nemesis, Qin Qi. Qin Qi was gentle and restrained, with a voice so sinfully alluring it could make anyone's legs go weak. He softly wished Lu Chuan good night. Plop. In an instant, Lu Chuan's Ren and Du meridians were opened. He toppled right over, dead asleep with his arms and legs sprawled out. Before dozing off, he still managed to struggle out a thank-you to Qin Qi: "May good people be blessed with a long, peaceful life!" The next day's headline screamed: "Shocking! Qin Qi and Lu Chuan's feud confirmed! Movie Best Actor masters a miraculous technique that strikes from afar! TV Best Actor collapses and loses consciousness! Is this a distortion of human nature or a collapse of morality?!" Lu Chuan: "…" Later, sleeping pills were promoted to f*cking pills, and he couldn't sleep again. Lu Chuan: I regret it now. I really, really regret it... The sleeping pill himself sneered and bit his earlobe. "Too late!" A mature, stern, older man with superb acting skills who loves to feign hurt, the top; versus a strong, hard-working, innocent-looking TV Best Actor who is about to become a movie star, a silly and easily deceived bottom. * I'm terrible at writing blurbs.

It's a story about a drama queen tormenting scumbags and falling in love amid a battleground of romantic rivals~] Shi Zhou transmigrated into a book and was forced to bind himself to the Contribution System in order to find a new way to survive. So he dutifully devoted his whole life to the important characters. The imperial crown prince, the male lead, was flirtatious with everyone but him, coldly watching as Shi Zhou became a test subject. The younger brother who had depended on him abandoned him for power. The rebel army's leader, a villain, treated him as nothing but a tool, ruthlessly using and betraying him. Although Shi Zhou thought they all had something wrong with their heads, he still did his job diligently. At last, he completed his mission, wept with joy, and happily charged into the enemy camp to blow himself up. But the System malfunctioned, and he returned to this body. One by one, the people from before came looking for him. But Shi Zhou couldn't be bothered to play along anymore. He calmly brushed past the male lead, who wanted to hold on to him. "We're not close. Excuse me." The male lead stared at him in a daze. He coolly stepped away from his younger brother, who was begging for forgiveness. "I don't want you anymore." His younger brother nearly went mad. He shook off the regretful villain's hand. "This scar on my body is from when I saved you. I waited three days and three nights. Why didn't you come save me?" The villain spat out three mouthfuls of blood. Shi Zhou: There are seven days in a week, so I'll torment one person each day. Healthy for you, me, and everyone else. I'm always fair. Everyone gets a turn. Theme:
