AKA a "flower vase"
A Chinese slang term which often appears in web novels and dramas. An "empty vase" or a "flower vase" is a beautiful person (of either gender) who has no other substance, purpose, or intelligence outside of their appearance (i.e. they have a beautiful outer appearance, but are hollow and empty inside).
Like a vase, they may be chosen to decorate a person's home or life, but can be largely neglected or overlooked, so the term is usually applied to low-maintenance people.
The term is considered a negative insult, and is somewhat similar to the Western concept of a "skin-deep" beauty or a "trophy wife".

The art of trying to make it look like someone's got a choice while narrowing their own ability to choose what they want to do.
Example: -
Person 1: - It's your choice but would you like to take your brothers and sisters out to the shops or the park.
Person 2: - '*thinks* "well I wasn't planning to take them, but you'll moan if I don't :| err empty choices Oo"' the parks fine.
Person 1: - Great, well it's your choice remember...
Person 2: - *Sigh* yup :/
