Editorial: Narrative Editorial — Secret Knowledge.

Film/Capture:
Create ONE vertical 3:4 photoreal dark-fantasy photograph, one continuous frame. Clean digital capture with restrained clarity, deep directional shadows, smooth highlight rolloff and locally readable black textiles. Jet black, deep burgundy and antique gold dominate. No analog film simulation, added grain, HDR, global bloom or aggressive sharpening.

Reference Identity:
PERSON-REFERENCE IMAGE MODE. Use the designated adult woman's person reference as the sole source of facial identity. Preserve her recognizable facial anatomy, underlying skin tone, apparent adult age, natural asymmetry and distinctive identity cues without redesign or idealization. Preserve reference-visible body proportions; otherwise use plausible adult anatomy without invented measurements. Reference wardrobe, lighting and background do not define this scene.

Hair:
REFERENCE-HAIR PRESERVE MODE. Preserve the reference-visible length, color, texture, curl, parting, fringe, tied or loose structure, volume and silhouette. Allow only natural gravity, garment contact and scene-specific wind response.

Makeup:
Sheer semi-matte base retaining natural texture and tonal variation; softly blended charcoal-taupe shadow close to the lashes, thin black-brown liner following the actual eye shape, separated lashes, lightly groomed brows, minimal muted rose blush and deep burgundy satin lipstick following the natural lip boundary. Surface styling only; no facial reshaping or skin bleaching.

Scene and Wardrobe:
An adult woman studies a great spellbook in a secret Gothic castle library at midnight in late autumn. Tall dark shelves climb into shadow behind her; a few worn books lie in stable uneven stacks on the floor, clear of her footing. She wears an off-shoulder black lace gown with an opaque bodice and skirt, translucent lace over the upper chest, and wide bell sleeves. A structured black leather corset belt compresses the fabric at the waist. A small antique-gold rose clasp marks its center. Both shoulders are bare above the secure neckline; the bodice remains opaque.

Pose and Expression:
She stands upright in left-facing profile, head modestly bowed toward the open book. The heavy leatherbound volume rests along its lower edge on a sturdy waist-high dark wooden lectern. Her left palm supports the lower spine while the lectern bears most of the weight. Her right thumb and index finger lift the outer corner of one page, the other fingers gently curved. Keep sleeve cuffs clear of the page surface. Her eyes follow the text, brow lightly focused without a frown, lips closed and relaxed. She is absorbed in understanding the castle's curse.

Camera and Light:
Full-frame 70mm, f/5.6, about 3m away, camera around chest height and level. Side-profile portrait from mid-thigh to above the head; woman on the right third, open book near the left-center. Leave 13% headroom and space in front of her gaze. Keep the profile, supporting hand and turning fingers readable. The open pages are the sole dominant light source, emitting restrained pale antique-gold magical light, brightest along illuminated ink and the page gutter. The glow falls upward onto her chin, near cheek, underside of nose, hands, lace chest and inner sleeves; it also lights the nearby lectern lip and nearest book spines, then falls rapidly into darkness. The far cheek, back of head and distant shelves remain dark. No light beams from closed shelves, independent rim light or floating unsupported book. Show faint abstract manuscript marks without legible modern text.

Finish:
Maintain the same recognizable facial identity from the designated reference. Anatomically valid hands, coherent perspective, contact shadows, believable fabric weight and source-matched reflections. No face substitution, plastic skin, extra fingers, floating props or unrelated light sources.

Watermark:
Add the exact text "${watermark:ⓒyulim_mood}" at bottom center, medium size, refined white calligraphic italic lettering, approximately twice a small signature. Preserve every character and underscore with a safe bottom margin. No outline, shadow, glow, box or border. No other text.
