Synopsis

Chapter 1 - 1

The person in power of the wealthy Su family loves to keep "flowers".

I am the 46th flower brought in by the Su family, named Talia Bloom.

Like the 44 sister flowers before me, there is always a part of me that resembles Cedric Su's first flower, Camellia White.

The part of me that resembles Camellia White the most is my pair of bright, limpid eyes.

Unfortunately, Cedric Su is a night owl who loves to stay up late.

So every day when the lights are lit, I have to open my eyes wide and let Cedric Su look at them to his heart's content.

Housekeeper Chen, holding a gold-edged evaluation book, sighed at me, "Talia, your performance this month is not very good."

He shook his head and said, "Usually, the girls who come here are most satisfactory to Cedric Su in the first month, and the money flows out from my side like water.

You haven't even been here for a month, how come the flow is getting worse and worse?"

The more satisfied Cedric Su is, the more money I get.

I understand this principle, and I really want those precious jewelry and antique paintings, which are all my rewards for the flowing money.

But this infatuated Cedric Su always likes to summon me in the middle of the night.

Who can stand this?

As the days go by, no matter how big my eyes are, they have to get smaller.

No matter how healthy I am, my eye bags will swell and my eyes will be bloodshot.

How can this still resemble Camellia White? It's simply a panda!

If this goes on, let alone the money flow, it's hard to say whether I can stay in the Su family or not.

There's no other way.

For the sake of my future wealthy life, I have to adjust my schedule.

Sleep at 12 noon and get up at 22:00.

Living an American lifestyle, I lost several pounds in no time.

On another dark and windy night, I put on a light pink cheongsam that Cedric Su likes the most, wore a thin veil, and tiptoed into Cedric Su's study.

There was already a sister in the room, holding a thread-bound ancient book in her hands.

She is Lilian Pear, who has been here for several years because her voice is very similar to Camellia White's.

I only showed my eyes and sat quietly on the side.

Listening to Lilian Pear read "Dream of the Red Chambe."

to Cedric Su in her oriole-like voice, while Cedric Su lay on the imperial chair listening, the chair swaying back and forth.

Two hours later, Cedric Su finally fell asleep, and Lilian Pear and I walked out of the study together, both couldn't help but roll our eyes.

This Cedric Su, does he have a hole in his brain, and has to be coaxed to sleep?

But what can we do?

For the sake of the money flowing into the account, we can only continue to endure it.

At 8:00 the next morning, the little flowers invited by the Su family came downstairs one after another for breakfast.

Although I am the 46th flower, there are actually only a dozen girls in the Su family now.

Some were sent away because they looked old, and some because they lost the charm of Camellia White.

You should know that in the Su family, being over 25 years old is like food past its expiration date, and no matter how beautiful you are, you can't stay.

And Cedric Su is already in his forties, yet still obsessed with that past affair.

To be honest, it's a bit pitiful.

Cassia Gui sits next to me.

She only came three months earlier than me.

As for the first flower from ten years ago, Camellia White, she has long become a legend.

Cassia Gui sips bird's nest soup in small mouthfuls, eating only that little for a whole breakfast.

The part of her that resembles Camellia White the most is her slender waist that can be held in one hand.

If she gains even a little weight and exceeds 60 centimeters, she'll have to pack up and leave.

Lilian Pear, on the other hand, eats congee and small dishes slowly and methodically.

She doesn't dare to eat anything spicy or stimulating, and she has to speak softly and gently, all to preserve her good voice.

She has been living like this cautiously for a full seven years.

In front of me is a bowl of wolfberry and tremella soup, along with various supplements that are good for the eyes.

I sigh inwardly.

What kind of wealthy family is this? It's simply a health club.

After breakfast, the sisters go about their own business.

Jasmine Lee pulls me to play the guzheng together.

The part of her that resembles Camellia White the most is her skill with the instrument.

For this, she has to spend at least three hours in the music room every day.

As Jasmine Lee plays the guzheng, she whispers to me, "Cedric Su is so handsome."

I lie on the imperial concubine chair beside her, letting the masseuse I called give me an eye massage, and casually agree, "Yeah, Cedric Su is simply a male god."

But in fact, we both know clearly that we're just complaining, "This old man is getting crazier by the day."

"Isn't that right?"

Just then, Lilian Pear walks in.

She smilingly hands me and Jasmine Lee each an exquisite box.

"Sisters, I'm leaving."

The girls who come to the Su family stay for seven years at most, and the shortest is sent away after just half a month.

Lilian Pear has stayed the longest, just because her voice is too similar to Camellia White's.

Unfortunately, she's 25 years old this year and has to leave.

Lilian Pear told me a few days ago that today is her 25th birthday.

Jasmine Lee and I stand up and give her a farewell hug.

To be honest, there's nothing much to feel sad about.

The commission Lilian Pear has earned from the Su family over the years is enough for an ordinary person to spend for several lifetimes.

This job is simply a surefire way to make a fortune.

In the future, Lilian Pear will definitely be able to become a happy wealthy lady.
