Chapter 75: Flaws and True Feelings.
Wang Kun is an 18th-tier celebrity. He has been good-looking since he was a child. People who see him like to praise him for becoming a big star when he grows up. After hearing it so many times, he also feels that he will become a big star when he grows up.
So even though he knew that the entertainment industry was a big melting pot, he still plunged into it.
Then, he demonstrated with his own actions what it meant to get hurt and what it meant to be like a moth flying into a flame.
In order to debut as a group, he signed a contract with the company that was almost like a contract of selling his body. The company was attracted by his looks and arranged a bunch of messy activities for him after signing the contract. The time he had to improve himself every day was very limited.
Of course, the salary is also very limited. The company takes away the training expenses you deserve, which is a reasonable commission.
In just half a year, he went from being a lively young man to a ghost crawling out of hell.
Not a metaphor, but... 100% realistic.
Because the company only had one spot for a limited variety show group, his senior from the same company actually put drugs in his drink in order to squeeze him out. He thought the worst that could happen to him was that he would end up in the bed of some "investment pigs", but he found out...his senior really wanted to destroy him.
He was forced to take drugs, and soon his agent and company executives knew about it.
He had nowhere to turn to. The company just symbolically fired a personal assistant. His senior brother successfully debuted as a group, but he was forced to attend various drinking parties and chambers of commerce at the request of his agent. If he dared to resist, the company would produce proof of his drug use, making it impossible for him to successfully debut in his life.
Wang Kun never imagined that the result of his brave attempt to venture into the entertainment industry would be... death before he could achieve anything. Not to mention unlimited stardom, he even lost his basic personal freedom.
He struggled hard and would cry every time his parents called him. Wang Kun didn't dare let his family know about his current situation and could only bear everything silently by himself.
Over time, he began to indulge in drugs on his own initiative. Even though he was forced to take drugs at first, the strong mental pressure left him with nowhere to release his stress, and he eventually embarked on the path of drug abuse.
His once beautiful appearance began to look withered and dilapidated, but he was too addicted to care about that.
He could not feel any sense of achievement in real life. Only after taking drugs could his mind relax and his body calm down. He gradually became a drug addict.
Wang Kun almost can't remember his original intention of entering the entertainment industry.
He originally thought that his life would be like this, but a turning point... suddenly appeared.
Because of Shen Xi'an, the entertainment industry this year has undergone an unprecedented cleanup. His idol senior who debuted at the same time as Shen Xi'an was found to be trafficking drugs and inducing others to take drugs, and was soon sent to jail.
The company's gray and black transactions also surfaced, most of the senior executives were arrested, the company went bankrupt on the spot, and the products that were "raised" like Wang Kun were finally rescued.
Wang Kun was sent to a drug rehabilitation center. To him, this place was also dark and gloomy, like a huge cemetery.
Cold and without any trace of happiness.
He only felt that his spirit and will were about to be buried here, and all his ugliness and unbearableness were forced to be revealed in front of outsiders. One day, when he looked in the mirror, he could hardly see his former beauty.
It turned out that he had fallen so hard that his head was bleeding.
Even the body has changed.
Wang Kun cried until his drug addiction took effect. He vomited and convulsed violently, like a fish tied up and out of water.
He thought that his life was ruined. He was only 24 years old this year. If he chose to study, he might have just graduated from college and everything would be new.
But at the age of twenty-four, he was almost withered, without a trace of vitality. What is the twenty-four-year-old of a truly successful person like?
Wang Kun didn't know. He only knew that the famous Bian Shen invented an anti-cancer drug at the age of 24 and saved countless lives. That was a life he couldn't even imagine. So, why did he want to enter the entertainment industry at that time?
He no longer remembers that he doesn't like singing and dancing, nor is he passionate about the stage, and of course he doesn't have any acting skills. It's just because he is good-looking, so he feels that he must make good use of his talents, right?
Wang Kun's drug addiction has recurred, and he is the person with the highest frequency of attacks among the surrounding wards.
He was not a man of strong will, and it was too miserable. It was dark and he couldn't see the "sunshine". He might as well cancel his account and start over.
Wang Kun thought about committing suicide.
For drug addicts, suicide is not an uncommon phenomenon. Drug rehabilitation centers have extensive experience in preventing it and are even equipped with a strong psychological counseling team. Wang Kun's attempt to cut off the number was of course unsuccessful.
He was trying to quit drugs in a daze. Although his physical reactions were getting lighter, the psychological void was getting bigger. He didn't know how those predecessors who had successfully quit drugs got through it, but he... couldn't.
He began to hate the senior brother who led him to depravity more and more. If he had not been forced to take drugs, even if he was just an ordinary person now, he would still have the ability to stop the loss in time and start over.
But now, everything is too late. Wang Kun does not believe in his own perseverance. Even if he succeeds in quitting drugs this time, will he really not relapse after he gets out?
He saw no hope.
Until one day before the Chinese New Year, his attending physician suddenly told him that there was a new drug looking for volunteers for clinical use. If he signed up, he might be able to quit his drug addiction and even prevent a relapse.
Wang Kun didn't believe it, but... he might as well give it a try. His life was already bad enough, and if it was still worthwhile to help others test drugs, then that seemed like a good idea.
So he signed the clinical trial agreement without even looking at it.
Soon he was transferred to a new ward. The people who came with him were all volunteers participating in the new drug trial. The expressions on everyone's faces were numb. There was no expectation for the new drug, only a confused calmness.
The same is true for Wang Kun.
He could not feel any effect of the new drug. When he "craved pleasure", the drug addiction would still kick in, and he was still as despicable and ugly as ever, like an uncontrollable prefabricated corpse.
But one day, he went out to play chess with the patient in the bed next to him. When his chess pieces were surrounded, he suddenly felt dazed.
It seems like I haven't had the urge to take a couple of puffs in a long time.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but at that moment, he actually felt a long-lost sense of happiness.
It turns out that he can still feel the happiness of normal people? He actually has this ability?
Wang Kun's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked up again, the world in front of him, which had lost its color, suddenly began to color.
He is still alive.
When he realized this clearly, Wang Kun's tears fell. He still cried very ugly, but... he himself did not think it was ugly.
On the contrary, his mind felt clearer than ever before.
When he walked out of the drug rehabilitation center, spring was already in the air. He carried a small package and walked briskly towards his parents who were waiting outside.

Bian Ling finally agreed to publish it anonymously, but the artistic treatment of A Ping could not be lost. The national father readily agreed to this and also found eight screenwriters to make the magical changes.
Alas, domestic screenwriters' adaptations based on real situations are often completely unrelated, but when it comes to magical changes, adding emotional dramas is what screenwriters are best at.
That's a very easy task.
Bian Ling got the revised life script of A Ping, and after reading it through, he felt that... AI really can't replace humans.
[What a bizarre love-hate relationship! Is this really something a human could come up with?]
"Then write one for me to see."
The system immediately lay down and was ridiculed.
The preliminary preparations for promoting drug addiction treatment drugs were unprecedentedly grand, including the training of medical staff, which was also very low-key. Unlike the grand promotion of Cancer Elimination, drug addiction treatment drugs were only posted on bulletin boards in major pilot drug rehabilitation centers.
As for the Internet, there is no official announcement.
Firstly, in order to proceed step by step, there is a limit on the number of medical staff and drug production. If a large number of drug rehabilitation patients are admitted to the drug rehabilitation center at once, it will easily become difficult to find a bed. Secondly, without the golden signboard of Bian Shen, everyone will definitely be hesitant about the drug rehabilitation drugs.
The most important thing is that drug addicts are a group of people who cannot be dealt with by reason and logic. They are best at going back on their words and throwing tantrums. Drugs have reduced their willpower to the lowest point. In fact, the fact that Bian Ling's signature was kept secret from the outside world this time is a potential crisis for drug lords. They are actually more afraid that these domestic drug addicts will retaliate against Bian Shen.
Many people who become addicted to drugs are unwilling to quit on their own initiative. They even like to drag ordinary people into it. Once drug addiction treatment drugs become available, this group of people's comfort zone of "selling drugs to support their addiction" will be completely cut off, and it is natural for them to retaliate.
In order to ensure the personal safety of people at the border, the country has taken all aspects into consideration, fearing that their precious children may suffer even the slightest scratch.
However, what the country did not know was that its own precious child had always wanted to sleep in peace.
On a beautiful spring day with flowers blooming, Bian Ling arrived in Lucheng on a special plane without telling anyone.
After arriving in Lucheng, he got rid of all the security personnel and returned to the area where the doomsday base was located.
[Host, you...don't do this, I'm scared.]
Bian Ling has thrown away all the electronic equipment on his body. When it comes to escape and hiding, he can even outmaneuver the most powerful psychic in the apocalypse, let alone a few guards in peacetime.
The most important thing is that these people are completely defenseless against him. In this era of over-reliance on electronic devices, they will also be blinded by electronics.
【My little essay, you haven’t read it yet! 】
"You've been delaying showing it to me, aren't you just afraid that I'll die if you don't agree with me?"
My little thought was exposed, and the system hesitantly held up the small essay I had deleted and revised:
[Host, you are the best person in the world. Please don't leave me! I can't live without you!]
Bian Ling sat on a stone bench by the street and was silent for a rare moment. "Is this the short essay you wrote after holding it in for so long? It's really short."
[But these are absolutely the most heartfelt and sincere words I have ever said! I swear to God!]
"Oh, really?"
Bian Ling looked up at the exceptionally clear blue sky and white clouds. There had never been such a peaceful sky in the apocalypse. Unknowingly, he had been in this world for nearly two years. It was enough.
He has no interest in possessing other people's bodies. If it is not his, it will not be his after all.
What's the point of living for others and rewriting their lives? This farce, which only he knew about, should also end.
"Little system, do you still remember what the name you made up is?"
[This isn't a random thing! I'm just rewriting the life system.]
"Yeah?"
The system was a little scared, it didn't quite understand what the host was saying.
"You knew the original owner was allergic to peaches, but you didn't know he was allergic to alcohol? Is it because the original owner has never drunk alcohol?"
Bian Ling's voice was cold, yet surprisingly gentle in the spring breeze. "You know his cheap black-framed glasses were a gift from a high school classmate, but you don't know the specific details of the Shen family."
"You even know that Wang Yueping, the man who jumped off the building, once treated the original owner to a meal."
"You know the original owner still hasn't paid off her student loans... So many details about the original owner aren't written in the original novel. I have a very good memory."
"So, how do you know all this?"
[I...] I don't know either. The system wanted to say this, but in an instant it only felt the movement was scorching hot, as if something was about to burst out.
