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".
"He couldn't believe the
ignorance coming out of the beautiful girl's mouth and wrote her off as an empty vase."
"She had been hurt by her past
relationship, so this time she decided to choose an empty vase and try her
hand at being a sugar momma to a handsome, shallow, boytoy."
