INT. BROTHEL - AIYUE'S CHAMBER - NIGHT

AIYUE sits at her dressing table, surrounded by elegant but understated decor. The room is softly lit by lanterns, casting a warm glow on the silk tapestries that adorn the walls. She carefully arranges her hair, preparing for the evening's guests, but her mind is elsewhere.

(To herself, quietly) "This place is a web of secrets. And I intend to unravel every one of them."

She stands and smooths her robe, preparing herself for the role she must play. With a composed expression, she exits her chamber and moves gracefully down the hall, her presence a blend of poise and subtle power.
