Fifth Edition: Oriental Aesthetics Cheongsam!

This edition was specially polished with reference to the characteristics of cheongsam combined with Soviet-style garden aesthetics.

The overall feeling is still very satisfactory, and the charm of several scenes has been basically restored.

Here are only the prompts for the version of Orchid.

If you like other scenes, they will be released one after another after reading 3w.

Prompt: 4K hyper-detailed fashion photograph featuring hyper-realistic rendering.

Crucial Character Consistency: The character featured is precisely the same person shown in reference images, maintaining consistent facial features, hair style, and body structure across all shots.
