shoulders slumped as a soft huff of dissatisfaction left xiaoli's lips. the day wasn't even half over and she was already feeling weary and restless. the woman was a natural introvert and only came alive in the presence of others but it seemed to be a slow day for the golden flower, leaving her to twiddle her thumbs and try to entertain herself. and she was failing miserably. perching her chin on her hand, she thought of perhaps drifting off for just a moment. it couldn't hurt, could it? her eyes had just fluttered shut when she was pulled from her rest by an unfamiliar voice.
her expression was one of disinterest as she gazed upwards though that quickly changed as she locked eyes with the man. shooting up from her seat behind the counter she tried to put on her most charming smile while doing her best to readjust her robes. she needed to make a good impression after all. very few eligible men had the status and wealth of jeong siwoo and though she hadn't gone out of her way to make herself known to the man, now that she had the chance she certainly wouldn't waste it.
"ah, certainly. i have just what you need. but first, may i ask if you if whomever is going to be using this balm will being doing work after putting it on? this will determine which balm i recommend," as she gave her sales pitch, she came from around the corner, slender fingers pushing ba!1gfck her bangs as she looked at him from beneath her lashes. "something stronger will be able to stand up to sweat and water, things of that nature. it'll be a bit more expensive but i can assure you it's worth it. it's a family recipe passed down 300 years."
without hesitation, i dive into you
the golden flower, present time.
triggers. minor mentions of injuries
@xiaoli-bh
under rare occasions would siwoo find himself needing to run an errand for a few remedies and herbs. his destination for today had been the well known golden flower where one of his close executive employee had told him about a few days back. aside the goods she sells, the employee himself could not keep his lips shut in gushing about the beauty that is the owner. not that it would matter for the owner of eternity since he really needed a few healing balm for himself to tend the wound that he had not realize had festered on his arm that was inflicted from the chase some masked strangers had given him the night before.
to his fortune, there hadn't been a queue in particular so it would save his time mostly of just getting what he needs, paying for it and heading home straight so he could continue reviewing the overdue documentations before the pain from the wound had warned him of its existence. arriving at the stall, the man scans around thought most of it comes off foreign to him since it may be more handmade than anything so he turns to the owner and ask, "do you have any recommendations for a healing balm, specifically to heal cut wounds?" he keeps his request simple and direct to waste neither of their time. however siwoo can't seem to notice the changing expression of the lady whom seemed excited to see him....?

💐
💐 : your honest opinion of the three houses
"this won't cost me my head, will it?" she raises a defiant eyebrow, crossing her arms across her chest. if there was one thing xiaoli had, it was opinions. on anything and everything. "alright, since you're curious: mugunghwa is stuffy and self righteous. they treat each other with what seems veiled hostility and the elders seem to favor appearances and reputation over their children and their happiness. they're my least favorite house. just boring people, really. I loathe boring people."
"magnolia? perhaps i'm biased but they are my favorite. accepting of others that aren't like them, more built on character and who you are, not who you were born to. still, they're bound by traditions like arranged marriages and other expectations, which has to be hard for those who fall under the gaze of their elders. they also don't seem too keen on marrying one of their seventy two heirs off to me, so, that automatically demotes them in the ranking but they're still above mugunghwa."
"gladiolus is probably the house i'm least familiar with. you can't go wrong with a manner in uniform, right?" an awkward laugh passes her lips as she claps her hands. "the idea of knights is romantic and all but surely they want for more? or maybe they really are as upright and loyal as they say, who really knows? as far as I'm concerned you can't trust them as far as you can throw them and i'm very weak and unathletic so take that as you will."

☕️📜
☕️ : you have a table at the sweetbrier tea house, but you only have room for three guests. who would you choose and why
she taps the tips of her chin with a perfectly manicured nail for a moment, a soft chuckle escaping her lips. "a prince, another prince, and perhaps the heir to a wondrous fortune, even if he isn't a prince?" the she keeps her sincere answer close to her chest, unable and unwilling to admit her vulnerability, she can't help but think she'd enjoy inviting her dad and brothers, if they'd even spare her the time these days.
📜 : are you on the nice list, or the naughty list?
"naturally the nice list, of course." a coy smile tugs at the corner of her lips. "what could I, the purest and most innocent soul in beonhwa, have possibly done to make it on to the naughty list, hm?"

🎁 : handmade gifts or store bought?
"well it all depends, now doesn't it? if you're buying for a very dear loved one only the best is enough. something from the golden flower with notes of amber, bergamot, and cinnamon would be coveted and the envy of everyone who caught even the smallest whiff!" she flashes a coy smile, the corner of her eyes creasing. "but for me? either will do. it's more about if the person remembers my tastes and interests and understands me. even the most expensive gift is boring and trite if given without concern of who's receiving it, don't you think?"

🌿 : one person you would like to get caught under the mistletoe with this crocus.
xiaoli quirks an eyebrow, amusement etched into her features. "shouldn't everyone be clamoring to have the honor of meeting me under the mistletoe?" soft laughter bubbles from her lips as she allows the question a moment to settle and give it thought. "there's never a lack of beautiful men and women in beonhwa who I would be glad to share a kiss with but..." her voice trails off as she thinks about the nobility of the three houses and the security they could bring her. "perhaps there's a lord or lady, an heir to a house, that will see me and fall madly in love at first sight. they'll meet me under the mistletoe and a kiss will seal the deal. they'll sweep me off my feet in a whirlwind romance so beautiful that poet will write about it for centuries!"

💫 : what is your most treasured family tradition during the crocus holidays?
"ah." her voice is soft, wistful, as she thinks of holidays gone by. prior to relocating to beonhwa her family had never taken part in celebrations for crocus. astrantia was the preferred time of year for festivals and thanking the gods within her tribe but being so young she adapted quickly and found herself anticipating the frosty festivities as if was all she had ever known.
"when my mother and grandmother were still alive, especially when I was little, we'd make a day of strolling through town square. stopping by every vendor stall anc seeing the seasonal goods, trying a different food or snack we had never heard of, buying something to commemorate our time together and how things had changed, had gotten better for our family. it was a day dedicated to enjoying one another and ensuring our bonds were as tight as ever."
a breath hitches in her chest and her voice falters as she feels the sting of tears prick her eyes. blinking them back furiously, she plasters a wide smile on her face. "it's been five years since I was last able to do such a thing. I wish I had seen those times and realized how precious they were in the moment. now...well now I hope to find a party to attend that had a strong wine or soju. when out of options, one must create their own fun,, hm?"

ayoooo. it's yiska again and i'm bringing you the most princess coded girlie because i've been watching til the end of the moon and i'm in love with pianran and needed to make you fall in love with her too. hit that cute lil heart button if you want me to bother you for plotting (i also have discord for ease). as for her pages, i will be linking them and everything else will be under the cut! (ya'll pls ignore i don't have a wanted connections page again. we're going to ignore that as a group)
sᴛᴀᴛs / ʙɪᴏ / ᴡᴀɴᴛᴇᴅ ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴs
brief mentions of poverty.
xiaoli grew up very poor. didn't have a home to sleep in and slept under the stars with her family and often went without food. her father and her older brothers did any physical labor they could find while her mother and grandmother used to make/weave garments of beautiful quality.
eventually this talent sees them being summoned by the noble houses of beonhwa to see the garments of unrivaled beauty and quality. the houses agree that they live up to the hype and offer the meng's shelter, supplies, and a formal title of house meng in exchange for making garments for them for celebrations and important occasions.
house meng is only a house in name and get none of the benefits of being an important family. the men still have to work physical jobs and there's no arranged marriage between the children of house meng and other houses. invites to celebrations and political events were never received. to say they felt a bit snubbed is an understatement but they also felt extremely grateful because how couldn't they???
but them being foreigners and "outsiders" was always made extremely clear and never forgotten.
xiaoli attended beonhwa academy and did well, graduating with great honors with an eye for artistry and science.
despite her mother and grandmother wanting her to take after their craft, she chose her own road and after begging for money to start her own business, she soon opened her own vendors stall, the golden flower. you can find elixirs, tonics, remedies, salve, balms, etc as well as very unique and exotic perfumes.
she keeps her recipes for everything a secret but also uses her connections to outside lands to procure ingredients that aren't native to beonhwa to make perfumes that no one else can!
xiaoli gets so wrapped up in making a name for herself that she alienates herself from her family and misses the death of her grandmother and mother and is too ashamed to come crawling back.
now she's basically doubled down and works herself to the bone to be successful because if she can't be the best than she lost her family for nothing, y'know?
i'm sure i'm forgetting something but it's 3am so whoops lmao.
wanted connections:
sis wants a husband by any means. she wants to belong to a family native to beonhwa, preferably a big house so she can feel like she belongs. doesn't have to be mutual. can be one sided, can be legitimate, or both can be using each other tbh! we love angst and pain in this house!
fellow vendors that she has a warm and friendly relationship. maybe they're a little group that look out for each other?
other "outsiders" that understand how xiaoli feels.
listen i love angst and issues and drama so i do love negative plots so if you want them, i'm so game.
someone who wants to steal her recipes to make money for themselves? or sabotage her?
an old flame that she broke it off with after her mom and grandmother died? she felt she needed to focus on business and not love and dumped them unceremoniously and now there's beef?
a fling xiaoli uses to distract herself from problems?
xiaoli flirts a little too much, with men and women and may have flirted or tried to seduce your muse's s/o just to prove she could. she has a bit of a complex but also loves love and intimacy and has poor boundaries when told someone is off limits (plotted only ofc!!)
your muse can't pinpoint why but something is off about xiaoli. her smiles seem empty and she seems a little too eager to belong. what's behind the facade?
or lets brainstorm!!!!
