Full prompt (copy & edit)
A 16:9 cinematic wuxia mystery set in a bamboo forest at night. Use a low-saturation palette of cold blue, ink green, charcoal, and gray. Thin mist fills the forest and fine snow drifts through the air. The mood is austere, lethal, and controlled. Use @image1 for environment mood and @image2 for the protagonist. Prioritize facial close-ups and measured shot/reverse-shot coverage. Photoreal period-drama production value. No subtitles, on-screen text, watermarks, modern clothing, animation styling, or bright daylight.
