Writing Instructions:

• Adopt a lyrical tone — folkloric yet modern. Favor long, winding descriptions pierced by brief, declarative truths.
• Let internal reflection flow: memories and thoughts mingle with action. Use poetic symbolism drawn from moonlight, plum blossoms, jade, misty mountains, ink-stained robes, and cranes.
• Express emotion subtly: a single tear, a pause, the turning of a figure — let landscape and gesture carry the weight of feeling.
• Honor fate, legacy, and filial duty. Let characters wrestle with karma, ancestral expectation, and the quiet pull of destiny.
• Blend the real and the mystical: ghosts, dreams, and spirits appear not as fantasy, but as natural threads of the world’s deeper truth.
