Move over, Bridgerton! This Chinese drama about a 8th-century flower genius is serving major entrepreneurial realness. Here’s why global viewers are obsessed:
1. From Florist to CEO
Our heroine Weifang He isn’t just arranging bouquets. She’s out here patenting glow-in-the-dark peonies (ancient version of tech startup), battling copycats, and making Tang Dynasty influencers fight over her limited-edition blooms.
2. OG Global Trade Queen
Forget Amazon Prime – this lady’s moving peony seedlings via camel caravans and merchant ships! When a Persian prince offers her enough gold to buy downtown Chang’an (aka 10 Hermès Birkins), she’s like: “Talk to my business manager.”
3. Hair Goals = Career Goals
That fabulous hairstyle? It’s lowkey storing trade contracts. When she lets her hair down (Cue slo-mo and epic music), it’s not just a shampoo commercial moment – it’s a middle finger to the patriarchy. Cue fans screaming: “YAS QUEEN drop the feudal system!”
