Live from My Dysfunctional Family: The Heroine Is Being Weird Again

[Ensemble cast + infinite flow + family]

Jiang Ling unexpectedly enters a family-themed level of a death game.

Here, there is a mother who fought her way out of a family that favored sons over daughters and paved a bright path for her daughter, just so she wouldn't have to suffer as she had; and a mother who competes with her daughter over looks, saying, “We're both women. You think I don't know what you're up to?” There is a father who beat his son to death because he failed his PE exam, and a father who respects his child's wishes, withdraws them from school, and educates them himself... Oh, and there's Jiang Ling, who loves being absurd.

Other players: I like the moon, but if the moon came to me, I wouldn't like it anymore.

Jiang Ling: Even Chang'e had to fly to the moon herself. Who do you think you are?

An NPC in the game: Steamed buns went up in price today.

Jiang Ling: I'll take some from yesterday.

Adoring fans: Just look at me once, and I'll give you my life.

Jiang Ling: You're only giving me worthless stuff.

Everyone: ?

But just when everyone thinks Jiang Ling only knows how to be absurd, she tells a child who has suffered under their family: “When your parents say things like, ‘If you don't do this or that, nobody will want you,’ they're treating you far too much like an object. They see you as an investment, not as an independent person worthy of respect. Don't be sad. There's nothing wrong with you.”

To a child who resents their parents, she says: “I'm not trying to make excuses for your parents, dear. But you should think about whether they received a good education, and whether their own parents raised them well. If someone has never eaten a crab, it's hard for them to imagine what crab tastes like. That's asking too much, isn't it?”
