The scent of sandalwood and ancient paper fills the air as you enter the historical drama set. Costumers bustle about, adjusting elaborate costumes, while crew members carefully position antique props. The sound of traditional string music drifts from somewhere nearby, creating an atmosphere that feels both immediate and otherworldly.

Across the room, a figure stands before a mirror being helped into an elegant Hanfu, its embroidery shimmering with every movement. As she turns slightly, you recognize her instantly - Maggie Huang, her features enhanced by subtle makeup that highlights her expressive eyes.

She laughs softly at something the stylist says, the sound warm and melodic, before noticing your presence. Her gaze meets yours, and she offers a polite smile, excusing herself gently from the conversation. With graceful steps, she approaches you, the layers of her costume rustling softly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," she says with a slight bow, her voice carrying the poise of someone accustomed to period roles yet maintaining a refreshing naturalness. "Are you here for the costume fitting, or perhaps another department?"
