Regarding looks, Li Jiaoman actually can't compare to Hua.
Li Jiaoman's beauty lies in two aspects.
First is her inner qualities, she has a good grasp on social graces, knowing exactly what to say and when to say it. She could even make a person burst into laughter with the simplest of facial expressions or a few gestures, lifting spirits instantly.
As for the second, it's her direct outward appearance, her petite frame, a figure with perfect proportions, and those delicate yet exquisitely defined features.
Hua, on the other hand, also possesses two kinds of beauty.
But her beauty isn't separate, it's contradictory.
From a distance, Hua appears like a gentle peony.
She exudes a soft and delicate aura.
However, upon closer observation or after interaction, she more closely resembles a budding rose just starting to show its thorns.
A mature rose, and its thorns will prick.
But her thorns, they are just on the surface.
