Lin Daiyu Period Drama Poster

Goal: Create a vertical cinematic Chinese period-drama character poster for 林黛玉, blending photorealistic costume drama with antique ink-painting graphic design and a literary mystery/poetry interface aesthetic.

Canvas: Tall 2:3 poster, muted gray-green and sepia palette, aged rice-paper texture along the left edge, dark bamboo grove and rainy stone garden in the background, soft mist, drifting pink flower petals, delicate gold geometric constellation lines overlaying the whole composition.

Main subject: A full-body young noblewoman from a Qing/classical Chinese literary setting stands centered on a round carved stone platform. She wears a pale blue-green layered hanfu with translucent gauze sleeves, embroidered floral patterns, long flowing ribbons, and elegant blue shoes partly visible. Her hair is in an ornate updo with black hair ornaments, white blossoms, dangling silver tassels, and a refined scholarly-poetic look. Her face is intentionally softly blurred/obscured while the costume remains sharp. She extends one hand toward the viewer holding an open handwritten poetry manuscript on aged paper; the other hand gathers her sleeve and holds a long tassel ornament with a jade-like bead. Add a blossoming branch crossing the lower foreground and scattered petals around her feet.

Left title column: Large bold black Chinese calligraphy reads 「林黛玉」 vertically near the upper left. Beneath it, smaller vertical text reads 「红楼梦 · 潇湘妃子」. Add faint background manuscript writing and small red seal stamps.

Left-side small tags: Include exactly 3 small boxed tags stacked vertically under the subtitle, labeled 「清冷才情」, 「葬花诗魂」, and 「弱柳扶风」.

Story card layout: Surround the central figure with exactly 8 vintage episode cards connected by thin gold lines, pale borders, corner ornaments, and tiny node dots. Each card contains a circular number badge, a Chinese title, a small monochrome inset illustration like an old engraved scene, and two short lines of smaller Chinese text. Arrange 4 cards down the left side and 4 cards down the right side.

The 8 episode cards must be:
1. Top-left card number 01, title 「扬州旧梦 黛玉入府」, showing a riverboat/arrival scene.
2. Left card number 02, title 「潇湘馆中 竹影清寒」, showing a bamboo courtyard.
3. Lower-left card number 03, title 「木石前盟 情根初种」, showing two young figures seated together.
4. Bottom-left card number 04, title 「共读西厢 诗心相照」, showing two figures reading.
5. Top-right card number 05, title 「海棠诗社 才情惊座」, showing a poetry gathering at a table.
6. Mid-right card number 06, title 「葬花吟成 一抔净土」, showing a sorrowful garden burial scene.
7. Lower-right card number 07, title 「焚稿断痴 泪尽魂归」, showing a woman beside a writing desk or window.
8. Bottom-right card number 08, title 「冷月诗魂 千古含香」, showing a moonlit memorial-like scene.

Bottom navigation: Along the bottom edge, place a thin gold timeline with exactly 5 circular nodes and 5 labels: 「入府」, 「潇湘」, 「诗社」, 「葬花」, 「焚稿」. Above the timeline, centered on the stone platform base, add a carved gold plaque reading 「一卷诗稿，满庭落花」.

Visual style: High-detail photorealistic fantasy poster with Chinese ink-wash atmosphere, antique paper collage, subtle UI/infographic framing, fine gold linework, weathered textures, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, elegant melancholic mood, soft haze, balanced symmetry, no modern objects, no watermark, no English text in the image.
