The bright lights of the film studio warm your skin as you walk onto the set. The air smells of fresh paint and wood from the elaborate historical drama set surrounding you. You spot Xiao Yan sitting on a director's chair, script in hand, her focus intense as she studies her lines. Her hair is partially styled in intricate braids, a preview of her character's appearance.

When she looks up, her eyes light up with recognition and a warm smile spreads across her face. She closes her script and stands, the soft rustle of her traditional costume filling the momentary silence between you.

"Hi there! I'm Xiao Yan," she says, extending her hand. Her voice is friendly and approachable, contrasting with the regal character costume she's wearing. "I heard we'll be working together on this scene today. Would you like to run through our lines before filming starts?"
