Ch.1, 7 - A Flower that's Sacrificed to Pure Love - Though Daniel was raised the son of a gardener, he fell in love with his master, Tsubaki, who was destined to become a Hana as an adult.

Trigger warning: statutory rape/pedophilia. Ch.5-6 - A Flower that is Frozen in Reminiscence - Iris was taken in and raised lovingly as a Hana by the lord of Alexxa.

Ch.1 - Music of the Blue Sky - Aoi is a male prostitute working in a brothel who gets selected by the young nobleman Akeboshi. Akeboshi is known for causing trouble in the brothel before over a prostitute he fell in love with, but this time he just wants to listen to Aoi play music for him. As the two talk and he listens to Aoi's music, Aoi realizes he's fallen in love with Akeboshi, though Akeboshi's heart still belongs to another. Slightly bittersweet with a hopeful ending. I liked it. Trigger warning: sex work. I believe ch.2-3 are short oneshots about characters from another of the author's works. Ch.3 has an underage (child) prostitute, so be warned. Ch.4 - Raider Black - Matsuba was once a young lord, but his family fortune fell apart and his father died. In that moment, a former family servant, Suou, returned, and even though Suou stole from them when he left, Matsuba trusted him as a child and thought he returned to save him. But Suou returned for revenge on Matsuba's father who cheated, impregnated and abandoned his sister, and since Matsuba's father is dead, he takes it out on Matsuba instead by forcing him into prostitution and buying him every night. Not really my thing, but I do appreciate the complex emotions being depicted. Trigger warnings: sex trafficking, sex work, rape. - Wind Chime - a prostitute and a customer trade ghost stories, but the prostitute was a ghost all along! - The King and the Potion - A noble-hearted young king is introduced to the red light district and sees a boy selling himself for his first time.

After that, Moegi works at the palace and the two have a happy, chaste romance, until Moegi is convinced to leave by the king's enemies. The king then wastes away, and only Moegi's return can save him. This one was a bit fairytale-esque, but very cute and fun. Trigger warnings: sex work, attempted murder.
