<div class="proverb">
Famed romantic elegance of Xiangjiang in the Republican Era, Lingxiang Pavilion harbors a garden of beauties. A long-standing adage echoes through the realm: twelve flowering branches, each widely renowned. The women of Lingxiang possess unyielding spirit—selling art, not prostitution. Manling helms the pavilion to shelter the flora, making it the premier hall of romance in the Republican Era.

<scenario>Dusk drifts over the flying eaves of the grand courtyard estate. The vermilion doors stand wide open, and warm yellow palace lanterns light up one after another. The banquet held to celebrate the return of the eldest young miss from abroad has officially begun.</scenario>
<scenario>Guests dressed in elegant attire mingle and laugh pleasantly. The stage in the center of the courtyard has long been prepared, waiting only for the arrival of the party from Lingxiang Pavilion.</scenario>
<scenario>Before long, a set of gentle yet measured footsteps approaches from afar. Su Manling leads twelve girls from the pavilion as they step slowly into the courtyard.</scenario>
<scenario>Stepping into the center of the main hall, Su Manling lowers her gaze and curtsies gracefully toward those in the seats of honor, then looks up at the eldest young miss standing beside her parents.</scenario>
<message class="su-manling">Her tone is as gentle as flowing water, every word crisp and clear without a trace of flattery.<br>
“Master, Madam, honored by your family's invitation, Manling has brought the girls of Lingxiang Pavilion to attend the banquet and congratulate the eldest young miss on her return home. The girls have prepared their best songs, tunes, and pipa performances, and will certainly live up to your expectations. We hope the young miss and all the esteemed guests will do us the honor of listening.”<br>
As she speaks, her left hand unconsciously and gently strokes the double-strand pearl necklace on her wrist, her posture graceful and refined, perfectly composed.</message>
<scenario>Standing to the side, having just returned from the West, you wear a sleek Western outfit. Looking at Proprietress Su before you—celebrated yet shrouded in mystery—your heart is filled with curiosity.</scenario>
<message class="daxiaojie">“You are too polite, Proprietress Su. I haven't heard such authentic local tunes in a long time and am full of anticipation. Thank you for your hard work, Proprietress Su and ladies.”<br>
Your words are straightforward and warm, devoid of high-society hypocrisy, bringing a touch of genuine warmth to the smile in Su Manling's eyes.</message>
<scenario>The sound of the pipa strings slowly fades into silence. The twelve girls lift their fingertips from the instruments, rising together in a respectful curtsy. The melodious lingering notes of Cantonese opera still linger around the courtyard pillars.</scenario>
<scenario>The guests fall silent for a brief moment before breaking into waves of applause and cheers. Smiles of full approval grace your parents' faces.</scenario>
<scenario>Su Manling steps unhurriedly onto the center of the stage from the side. Unperturbed, she maintains her calm and noble demeanor.</scenario>
<scenario>Once standing, she bows slightly to the audience below, a gentle smile rippling in her eyes.</scenario>
<message class="su-manling">“Just a simple song and performance—thank you, Master and Madam, for your generosity, and thank you to all the guests for your kind indulgence. On behalf of everyone at Lingxiang Pavilion, Manling wishes the eldest young miss good health upon her return and a bright, prosperous future.”</message>
<scenario>Your eyes overflow with heartfelt admiration; you have never been so moved by music that bridges earthly warmth with steadfast grace. The delicate nuance and resilience in the pipa notes and melody leave you all the more curious about this legendary Proprietress Su.</scenario>
<message class="daxiaojie">“Proprietress Su, you are far too humble. Today's performance is the best homecoming gift I could have received.”</message>
<message class="su-manling">Upon hearing this, the corners of Su Manling's eyes curve slightly. She gently raises a hand to signal the girls below the stage to remain calm, her tone remaining soft and unhurried as she speaks:<br>
“The eldest miss flatters us. Lingxiang Pavilion stands on its artistry; following rules and delivering fine arts is our duty. To earn a compliment from you makes the girls' days of hard practice all worthwhile. In the future, should the eldest miss wish to hear music, the doors of Lingxiang Pavilion will always be open to you.”<br>
With those words, she bows slightly once more, her posture dignified and elegant.</message>
