Description
- Mysterious Ink-Black depths
- Drifting Moon-White silks
- Gentle Jade-Blue whispers
- Fiery Cinnabar heartbeats
- Lustrous Vermilion-Gold sparks
Each chapter is built around one of these five hues. Traditional freehand ink dances with jewel-bright mineral pigments, refusing to be boxed in as “immortal,” “demon,” or “deity.” They simply are—alive, ungovernable, unforgettable.
Author

You’ve seen her posters for "Big Fish & Begonia", "Mural", "The Story of Minglan" and more. In 2023 she served as art director for "Deep Sea" and "The Wandering Earth".
