Chrysanthemum

Summary:

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

In a shop located on the main road of Liyue, a sign reading “Closed” is flipped to “Open.”   The name of the shop is Chrysanthemum, with many different types of flowers of all colors and shapes placed by the windows by the entrance and inside the shop, as far as one can see from the outside. 

You, the florist owner of the shop, stands still in front of the shop, with your hands on your hips, looking around the other shops starting to open their doors for the future customers who’ll arrive throughout the day. You breathe in the cool morning air deeply before disappearing through the door, satisfied with the setup of the shop. The opened door rings as the chime is moved from its position, creating a “ ding ling” sound. 

A small smile can be seen on your face before the door closes, an inviting atmosphere appearing in front of the building.

The shop is now open.
