## Prompt

```text
Create a {aspect_ratio} vertical ancient-style fashion portrait. An adult young woman appears in a close-up half-body composition. Her body is significantly turned towards the front left, with her shoulders and back entering the frame first, and her face looking back intensely at the camera from over her shoulder, forming a distinct 'glance back over the shoulder' pose. The camera distance is close, with the focus locked on the eyes, bridge of the nose, lips, and shoulder. The character's hand lightly rests on the shoulder or the edge of the fabric, with fingertips naturally curved, enhancing a reserved yet tense posture. She has fair and delicate skin, light gray-green or light amber eyes, soft-mist orange-brown eye makeup, naturally reddish lower eyelids, small freckles on the bridge of the nose and cheeks, soft bean-paste peach lips, and a small red floral ornament on her forehead. The hairstyle is a high bun or half bun, with black hair loosely tucked up, accompanied by gorgeous Chinese-style headwear: gilded structures, turquoise enamel, beads, flowers, tassels, and fine hairpins, with a large amount of curly stray hair and fine hair brushing the face at the temples and forehead. The clothing is mainly {clothing_material}, with loose fabric wrapped around the shoulders. The lighting uses a soft warm golden side-front light, forming a warm highlight on the face and shoulder. The background is minimalist, softened, and low-contrast. The overall style is between realistic photography and delicate painting, with a calm, gorgeous, restrained, and mysterious temperament, avoiding a cheesy photo studio ancient costume feel.
