In Dayu, glass is known collectively as "liuli," a term that also encompasses glazed sand, jade wares, and colored glazed tiles. Due to the limitations of industrial technology, however, the glass produced in Dayu rarely achieves true crystalline transparency.

In the homes of other princes and ministers, such windows are rare imperial gifts, and few possess even a single pane.
Now, Luo Xueyao had produced two pieces of such impossibly clear glass for an orphan like Xiuer—who had grown up eating food from a hundred different families—to wear. How could Xiuer possibly dare to accept them?
Luo Xueyao did not offer an explanation. "Xiangtao, Cuiping, hold her down for me."
