Minimalist Oriental x Song Dynasty Aesthetics x Ancient Style Editorial x Independent Art Cover

Characters: White Snake (Bai Niangzi) and Xiaoqing.

White Snake: On the right side of the frame, slightly turned to look into the distance with a calm and gentle expression; wearing a moon-white Song-style long dress, a simple hair bun, and a few white jade ornaments.

Xiaoqing: On the left side of the frame, half a step forward, facing White Snake and looking back at her with a lively and natural expression; wearing a light green Song-style long dress, a simple hair bun, and a few green jade ornaments.

Scene: Minimalist Jiangnan waterfront in midsummer, featuring only shallow water, distant mountains, and a simple waterfront staircase with a clean background.

Composition: Characters are positioned in the middle-lower part, staggered left and right with large areas of negative space; low-saturation moon-white and light green tones, natural summer light, soft depth of field with slightly blurred background; realistic photographic texture, natural skin and materials, low information density, clean and restrained, avoiding over-sharpening, smoothing, grain, or an 'AI-processed' look.

Typography: Main title 'Bai Niangzi · Xiaoqing', accompanied by a short poem line 'The mountains are shrouded in mist and rain'; minimalist Oriental layout, small font size, thin typeface integrated into the negative space, no English, seals, or other decorative text.

Aspect Ratio: 9:16 vertical.

Signature in bottom left: '● DeepBlue', with ● in pure deep blue #0B3D91 and 'DeepBlue' in white natural handwriting.

极简东方 × 宋式美学 × 古风 Editorial × 独立艺术封面

人物：白娘子、小青。

白娘子：画面右侧，微微侧身望向远处，神态沉静温婉；月白宋式长裙，简洁发髻，少量白玉饰。

小青：画面左侧，稍靠前半步，身体朝向白娘子并回眸看她，神态灵动自然；浅青宋式长裙，简洁发髻，少量青玉饰。

场景：极简江南水岸，盛夏时节，仅保留浅水、远山与一处简洁临水台阶，背景干净。

文字设计：主标题「白娘子 · 小青」，搭配一句短诗「山色空蒙雨亦奇」；极简东方排版，小字号、细字体，融入留白，不添加英文、印章或其他装饰文字。

画幅：9:16竖幅。
