The phrase 'white lotus' is a borrowed term from Sino-Vietnamese. Simply put, 'white lotus' means 'white lotus flower.' The white lotus flower is known as a symbol of purity, innocence, and purity. If a girl is called a white lotus, she is both internally and externally very pure and virtuous.
But in reality, it's hard to find a 'white lotus' in the true sense, so nowadays the internet community is using it as slang with a different meaning.
White lotus is used to refer to girls who have an innocent appearance, always seem innocent, naive, etc. If you treat this person well, nothing will happen, and they may even be sweeter to you than others. But when you do something against them, or if you want to confront them, they are 'not to be trifled with.'

We still criticize and see the despicableness of 'green tea,' but the higher-ranking tea is the 'white lotus,' always appearing innocent and pure but actually very hypocritical and cruel. Always playing the weak, needing protection to exploit and deceive others.

4. Approaching even those who are 'already taken'
White lotus girls often appear weak, thus often relying on boys for anything they can get help with. These girls will appear when boys are sad, depressed, or even when they argue with their lovers, argue with their wives... They often go out together, go beyond the boundaries of friendship.

5. The clearest expression of the white lotus
- Does not actively pay: if a girl likes you, she will think for you and will be willing to share the bill when necessary. With white lotus girls, they only receive and never spend.
- Always keep an inconsistent attitude: the attitude of white lotus girls towards you is not stable, when they need help they will appear very enthusiastic but when you no longer have any value to exploit, they will be indifferent to you.
