   It might not be a perfect match, it's Narcissus, but the protagonist is also quite crazy and smart. Although he doesn't love money as much as Bai Liu, Shuo Shuo will silently memorize the price of everything and then calculate it. He likes to ruin the script. The only thing is that he's particularly chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). In the end, Narcissus is a divine product. [Admiration][Admiration][Admiration]

   This book, the protagonist also has the surname Bai and is a con artist. The premise feels completely unrelated to "Jing Feng" (a novel about a con artist) except for the infinite flow of dungeons, but there's a certain similarity. Overall, it's okay, but the updates are very slow.

    After witnessing her brother Ling Heng's brutal murder, Hu Lingxian's first reaction was, "I don't want to eat meat today." While seemingly absurd, this is actually a microcosm of her extreme numbness and distorted personality resulting from long-term mental control. First, it's a manifestation of extreme emotional detachment. Under Ling Heng's shadow, Lingxian had long become a "puppet," completely desensitized to violence and death. Faced with the carnage, her voice was "empty," devoid of fear or screams, showing no basic emotional fluctuation, as if she were observing trivial matters unrelated to herself. Second, "meat" has a distorted symbolic meaning. Ling Heng's daily coercion of her to eat meat was a means of controlling her will. When she saw the bloody scene, her subconscious associated the carnage with the "meat" her brother forced her to eat, creating a conditioned reflex of rejection. Thus, she subconsciously expressed this distorted, weak aversion by saying "I don't want to eat meat." On a deeper level, this exposes her loss of self and moral judgment. Her world consisted only of Ling Heng; she didn't see the consequences of murder and had lost her independent personality. She neither ran away nor cried for help; instead, after her brother committed murder, she gave a puppet-like response about "what to eat today." Ultimately, this became the norm in their morbid interaction. Ling Heng needed a mindless puppet, and Ling Xian's absurd answer was precisely the only "expression" she could make in this relationship. Ling Heng wasn't surprised at all; instead, he comforted her, telling her "don't be afraid," indicating that this distorted dialogue had become the norm. This sentence encapsulates Ling Xian's tragedy: she didn't know how to be afraid, nor did she know what else she could say besides the imposed daily responses.
