   This was an elegant young woman's boudoir. On a chaise longue by the window lay a young girl. Upon closer inspection, it was clear she wore only a smoky pink bodice and white shorts. Her limbs and navel were openly exposed to the air. Warm, soft sunlight streamed through the window, bathing her in a soft golden glow on her fair, smooth skin. Four maids surrounded her, each holding a delicate little jar, occasionally taking out a glistening white ointment. They carefully applied it to the girl's long legs, slender arms, delicate waist, lovely, fair feet, and tender, pointed toes. One of the maids, Miaoyun, moved particularly gently. She had just finished the final step of massaging her skin. Speaking softly, she said, "Miss, your skincare routine for today is complete. In an hour, you will take a medicinal bath. Granny Li is preparing it."
