If they hadn't mentioned it, Wei Wei basically would've forgotten what bitterness she'd previously experienced because of the Flower Gifting Festival.
In the Dragon War Empire, the annual Flower Gifting Festival was the holiday that young girls looked forward to the most, because on this day, all the young lords from influential families would hold a white cherry blossom in their hands to give to a young lady they liked.
At that time, Wei Wei had just reached marriageable age (fifteenth birthday), and she had the fantasies that all young girls would have. She waited expectantly for her future husband to present her with a white cherry blossom.
For the sake of being beautiful that day, she even threw away her pride and approached Lady Su to ask for money.
She still remembered the sarcastic remarks those people by Lady Su's side made.
They said even if she dressed up more, she'd still merely be wretched, spoiled goods.
