花前月下 Moonlight Mudan

In an imagined night, a thin mist lingers. Dewdrops glisten on the petals, while a butterfly alights on a branch, preparing to rest. Yet the cricket remains lively, eager to explore its surroundings. A fully bloomed peony gently bends the branch beneath its weight, weaving together the butterfly's dreams and the cricket's cheerful leaps—a quiet and serene night, peaceful yet full of life.
