quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two consecutive performances of extreme tragedy had drained all of Jiang Ci's mental energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't the confusion of being unable to exit the character, but a pure, bone-deep exhaustion stemming from mental overexertion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his early debut days, and with the addition of the Emotional Isolation skill, his speed of detaching from a role was much faster now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that unprecedented mental fatigue pressed down on him with tangible weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back in the seat, eyes closed, not wanting to move even a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subconsciously, Jiang Ci opened the system panel in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he found that long-noticed skill in the store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Deep Sleep LV1】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this state, 2 hours of sleep would be equivalent to 6 hours under normal conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heartbreak Value exchange cost: 1200 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a life-extending wage slave like him who constantly needed to squeeze out mental energy, it was practically the king of cost-effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Exchange】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the exchange was completed, the System Store interface automatically refreshed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the special skills column, a brand new icon popped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci glanced at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Truth Patch (Consumable)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Price: 8888 Heartbreak Value】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Description: Use on a target to force them to give the most truthful answer from their heart to one of your questions within 1 minute.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci's brow twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most expensive skill ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was a one-time consumable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forced truth-telling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci couldn't think of a usage scenario for this skill at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he wasn't too worried about the Heartbreak Value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another two months, the summer movie season would arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The xianxia film he starred in, \"Three Lifetimes Tribulation,\" should be released by then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Wuchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That number one beautiful, strong, and tragic immortal he portrayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five hundred years of protection, just to block the final Heavenly Tribulation for her, his soul scattering to the winds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That smile right before death was something he had meticulously designed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heartbreak Value harvested then would only be more than General Gu's, not less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the system and peacefully shut his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Longing Across Time\" crew held their opening ceremony in a remote corner of the film studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No media, no promotional articles, not even a red carpet or flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a long table covered with a red cloth, holding fruits and an incense burner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was very \"Zhang Mouyi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci followed the creative team, quietly stepped forward, and took three incense sticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the curling blue smoke, he saw the other core members of the crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yu, playing the major villain Chi Jie, stood quietly in the farthest corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was dressed entirely in black, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his whole person exuding an air of gloomy detachment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xin, playing Mo Ying, was the complete opposite extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a pink princess dress, her hair tied in cute twin tails, holding a cookie tin as she weaved through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, come on, try my homemade cranberry cookies!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wang, take a few more!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lighting teacher, you've worked hard, replenish some sugar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was enthusiastic like a little sun of the crew, using her sweet smile to quickly close the distance with all the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would connect this energetic sweet girl with the emotionless killing tool from the script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Ji Lan, playing Xuan Shuang, held a small notebook, observing every person on site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pen never stopped moving across the page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci withdrew his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This crew, from the protagonist to the villain, was more intense than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simple ceremony ended, and Zhang Mouyi stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands, and the scene immediately fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today's first scene, first take.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried clearly to everyone's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The opening scene, in the Guixu Forest, the onigiri scene between Ye Chen and A Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The set location was in the film studio's artificial forest area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tall imitation ancient trees, the ground covered with dead leaves and moss, basically replicating the appearance of 【Guixu Forest】 from the script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingying had changed her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not some elaborate ancient costume, but the most ordinary modern attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white hooded sweatshirt, light blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood quietly within that antique-style set, holding a thermal lunchbox printed with cartoon patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong sense of temporal dislocation washed over everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was that modern girl who accidentally stumbled into the Shang Dynasty, A Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci had also changed into Ye Chen's costume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep black robe embroidered with intricate silver thread patterns, long hair tied up with a simple wooden hairpin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the wardrobe assistant finished adjusting his collar, his entire aura settled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That icy, aloof, and proud air belonging to a half-demon who had slept for a thousand years returned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lighting, camera, sound, all departments were in position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clapper loader held the slate, about to call action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mouyi's voice suddenly rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked out from behind the monitor and went straight to Jiang Ci.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere on set instantly grew somewhat tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mouyi stopped in front of Jiang Ci, lowering his voice, but those nearby could vaguely hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the script, when Ye Chen pushes away the onigiri, he says, 'A half-demon doesn't eat such mortal food.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you interpret this line?\" Zhang Mouyi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci thought for a moment. \"Tsundere. He wants to eat it in his heart, but can't swallow his pride.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mouyi directly negated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not an emotional tsundere act.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out a finger and tapped Jiang Ci's abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a physiological rejection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mouyi continued, \"He's a half-demon, asleep for a thousand years. His body structure, his sense of taste and smell, are all different from humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The grilled meat onigiri A Li made is delicious to humans, but to him who just woke up, that smell mixed with rice, grease, and seasonings is a burden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He pushes it away, first because his body instinctively rejects this 'mortal world smoke.' It makes him uncomfortable just smelling it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, it's the aloofness and stubborn pride of Ye Chen's character, who disdains to explain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene needed to be performed on two levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface layer was tsundere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inner layer was physiological discomfort and rejection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter was the foundation that made this character more real, more convincing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\" Jiang Ci nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mouyi looked at him and added another sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to see that moment you frown, not because of disdain, but because that smell genuinely makes you uncomfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zhang Mouyi turned and walked towards Su Qingying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingying stood quietly in place, holding that lunchbox, listening attentively the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You,\" Zhang Mouyi pointed at her, \"act according to the script.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of confusion appeared on Su Qingying's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mouyi explained, \"In the script, after handing over the onigiri, A Li will look at him expectantly. This 'expectation' is an act.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't know he rejects human food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In your eyes, he's just an 'ancient person' who woke up not long ago and is hungry. You feel sorry for him, want him to eat something warm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mouyi's speech wasn't fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are simply being kind to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mouyi's gaze swept between Jiang Ci and Su Qingying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I want to see is the moment a 'sincere heart' is harshly rejected by an 'instinct,' completely caught off guard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1270,"2026-06-05T18:00:08.557Z",1,"novelbin.me","006e3eaf4b65ecc0b57cc11c5ea990fe47cfbb5fed4ab46536a37d7781359ee4","the-more-tragic-i-act-the-stronger-i-get-my-fans-chapter-186","the-more-tragic-i-act-the-stronger-i-get-my-fans-chapter-184",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-more-tragic-i-act-the-stronger-i-get-my-fans-cover.jpg"]
