The Lament of Liu Gui

Words: 2846 · Source Novel:: The Jade Rabbit Algorithm

Delving into the code, Wei finds a dark joke referencing the ancient "Liu Gui Shoots the Rabbit" case—a legal precedent where killing a symbol was treason. He understands the hedge fund’s algorithm targets companies whose names or logos contain "rabbit" or associated lunar motifs, exploiting a superstition-based short-selling strategy. Each victim is a modern Liu Gui, punished for touching the untouchable. Wei, a descendant of scholars, feels the weight of that legacy as he begins to decode the algorithm's DNA in his cramped apartment, severed from all human contact.
