When Little Flower is sold as a maidservant--a \u003ci\u003emuizai\u003c\/i\u003e--to Linjing, a daughter of the prominent Fong family, she clings to the hope that one day her golden lilies will lead her out of slavery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot only does Little Flower have bound feet, uncommon for a \u003ci\u003emuizai\u003c\/i\u003e, but she is extraordinarily gifted at embroidery, a skill associated with the highest class of a lady.
