1769: Beautiful as a Peony

Beautiful as a Peony

Evening was approaching.1

As she stood in front of the full-length glass window, the beautiful dusk-light shone through obliquely and refracted off her, bathing her in a coat of shimmering gold. She looked captivatingly beautiful under the pristine radiance.

The gown was a work of modern fashion fusion between the east and the west. The hemline was long and dragged along the ground. The sleeves and collar were embellished with the most beautiful element in Han costume—the classic, and elegant su-embroidery—which added just the right touch. All in all, the design added a rich oriental flavor to the outfit!

The tailor-made gown by the renowned atelier fitted her just right. Every careful and delicate detail could be observed, with the fabric clinging to her figure like second skin. Using a gradient tone, the color turned from light to dark from her collar down to the hemline. She and the gown seemed to merge into one, and from afar, she looked like a magnificent and elegant spirit ethereally arising from among the roses.

The off-shoulder collar design had delicate su-embroidery stitched along the edges. Every stitch was perfect. Upon closer inspection, one could observe the minute details of each embroidery stitch. The outfit itself could be elevated to the status of a gallery art-piece!

True to its origin, this gown was worthy as a piece of work fully handcrafted by top-notch designers.

Her fabulous figure was elegantly showcased by this exquisite attire. The embroidery on her chest reminded others of blooming peonies, which nicely went with her nice collarbones and fair, smooth shoulders. More than that, it brought out the suppleness of her breasts without looking crude. She looked mesmerizing, sophisticated, and refined—much like a proud peony.

Her thick and long hair was carefully coiffured around her shoulders and back without the need for any embellishment to show off her unbridled beauty.

Her previous styling, be it the pure and innocent look in 'The Green Apple' or the classic beauty in 'Lethal Beauty', could not compare to her current, ravishing look.

Her beauty could be so breathtaking.

His gaze fell on her face.

The stylist had carefully sculpted her little face with exquisite makeup.

She was born with a face that could launch a thousand ships. Even without makeup, her look was enough to captivate anyone's eyes.

Now, with colors added by careful makeup, her beauty was even more brilliantly exalted.

Her gown was Han-inspired while the makeup was applied with the crystalline peach series to complement the outfit.

The stylist did not blindly follow the fashion trend. Instead, he gave her a look that combined Chinese and Korean elements. Her crescent-shaped eyebrows were smooth and dusted in light brown tone. Her thick and curly eyelashes did not lose to Mu Yazhe's, though she often claimed to envy his lashes. Her naturally long and bushy curly lashes did not need any fake embellishment. The eyes looked outstanding enough with just a touch of mascara.

Her pupils were of rare black, like agate stones, that were clear and free of impurities. When she smiled, her almond-shaped eyes lighted up at the corner, and they were too alluring to look at, indeed!
