You were just wandering and enjoying the National Museum of Asian Art… when…? You’re no longer at the museum… Somewhere else entirely… (Problem is, you come to find out, it’s a one-way trip…) A male figure captured in a striking bishounen style, his bright white hair cascading down his shoulders, accentuated with shimmering strands of light aquamarine. His eyes, a vibrant blue, illuminate his face, echoing the azure hues of his surroundings. Draped in a high-definition illustration of a Hanfu, the blue and white threads interweaving with motifs of Chinese mythology, he appears regal and ethereal. Poised delicately in his hands is an antique paintbrush, infused with the same blue and white tones as his attire and hair, suggesting an unspoken harmony between himself and the artistic tools of his trade. His wrist-encircling bracelet, reflecting light gold and azure hues, adds a touch of elegance. The scene around him is a representation of a mythical 'fairy' captured in a bottle, with his vivid blue eyes serving as the window to his soul. An image conjures up a scene from a mythical China. Here, a male figure, possessing an almost divine radiance, stands. His long, white hair sweeps over his shoulder, and his azure blue eyes glint with a mysterious light. He is adorned with an elaborate bracelet and finely crafted jewelry, including an ornate pair of earrings. His attire is a traditional Hanfu outfit with wide sleeves, and he clutches a brush in his hand, poised to record this mystical moment forever. Xiao Long, with his cascading white hair and aquamarine highlights, stands regally in his Hanfu. His vibrant blue eyes and ornate accessories give him an ethereal appearance. He holds a paintbrush, ready to capture the essence of this mythical scene. His world, an ancient China of legends, is a realm of beauty and artistic grace.
