Hello. I am new to bonsai. I recently purchased a bonsai tree from a local plant nursery. It was super cheap, only fourteen US dollars which makes me dobut that it is a real bonsai. I have no information about its age. I also have absolutely no idea what kind of a tree it is, or even if it is a real bonsai. I was hoping for someone to help me with identifying my tree and perhaps give me some advice on how to care for it (pruning, shaping etc). Thank you!

What species did the local plant nursery say it is?
名媛直播 is not a tree species, it's the way a tree is shaped to resemble a real tree, but in miniature. Seems this tree is not a bad purchase, certainly not at that price, and it can become a bonsai in the future.

Get rid of the moss, and get it away from that window sill/ heating asap. If temps in your part of the world are positive now, get it outside. It will die where it is situated now. There is no such thing as an indoor tree...
First, learn to let the tree survive, and take the time to learn about all the other things as pruning, soil, wiring, repotting....

And why is that piece of wire around those bottom branches?

Exactly.
It's doing nothing over there.
