## Prompt

```text
Theme:
{theme}

Subject:
1:1 square aspect ratio. A {dynasty} courtyard in the morning after rain. Water is still dripping from the eaves, there are shallow puddles on the ground, and wooden doors and flower branches are covered with water droplets. A character stands under the eaves, reaching out to catch a falling raindrop, with only part of her face visible as she looks at her palm. Only one adult woman appears in the frame.

Character and Expression:
The main character from the attached image is translated into a young woman from the Tang Dynasty market, in her twenties, with black hair partially pinned up, wearing a light gray narrow-sleeved short jacket and a light-colored long skirt with slightly rolled-up cuffs. The expression is quiet and soft, as if feeling the morning moisture.

Clothing and Pose:
Light gray narrow-sleeved short jacket, light-colored long skirt. The character stands under the eaves, reaching out one hand to catch the rain, while the other hand hangs naturally at her side. The movement is captured mid-action, not posed, and does not overtly showcase the body.

Camera and Composition:
Eye-level slightly high angle, shallow depth of field close to the hand; close-up to medium shot, where the palm, water droplets, eaves, and the character's profile form the main visual. The subject is slightly off-center to the bottom right, leaving ample negative space at the top and left; the reflection of the water droplets serves as continuous soft light, avoiding point highlights on the face.

Background and Lighting:
Wooden doors, flower branches, water droplets, and shallow puddles. Morning light from outside the eaves forms single-direction soft light, with continuous highlights on the face, no point light sources, and no random scattered spots.

Texture and Style:
{style}. Soft high-key, pale colors, slight overexposure, fine film grain, low contrast, shallow depth of field, and lingering light. Prohibit commercial-style centered headshots and high-contrast advertising lighting.

Negative:
Do not include male characters, no multiple subjects, no studio shots, no modern elements, no perfect retouching, no point light sources on the face, no multi-directional light cutting the facial features, no complex gestures, no extra fingers, no deformed hands, no text watermarks.
