My answer seems to have missed some parts of your question. The male protagonist had been pretending to be sick, and everyone respected his wisdom, but it was easy to get jealous. This kind of situation usually appears in novels. The male protagonist is usually portrayed as a very smart and talented person, but he always tries to hide his true identity and talent so as not to be envied or challenged by others. This behavior could be seen as a self-protection mechanism because he knew that if he exposed his talent, it might cause unnecessary competition and conflict. The male protagonist's behavior when drinking vinegar is usually a form of humor or teasing because he may feel that it is a kind of provocation or challenge. He hopes to attract the attention and curiosity of others to show his intelligence. These are my answers. I hope they will be helpful to you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to tell me.
I'm not sure what kind of quick-acting novel you want. However, based on the information you provided, I can try to provide you with some novels that might meet your needs.

The Ugly Concubine. The male protagonist loved the female protagonist's face, but the female protagonist had a birthmark on her face. In the end, the female protagonist found that she was only used as a substitute.
I recommend " The Female Lead's Counterattack Strategy ". This was an ancient romance novel. The female lead beautifully transmigrated into the novel and became the female lead. However, she realized that she did not inherit the beauty and family background of the original owner. She could only rely on herself to counterattack. There was more than one male lead, but the female lead had been working hard to develop her business ability to find traces of the male lead. This book was mainly about laughing and ridiculing. It was about how the idiotic female protagonist played with the journey of transmigration and who could capture the female protagonist's heart. I hope you like my recommendation.π

Later, they lost contact because of a misunderstanding. They reunited at the age of 21. The male protagonist decided to start over and pamper and heal the female protagonist.
