Minimalist literary novel cover
Prompt
A literary book cover in a refined minimalist editorial style, vertical composition, using a muted palette of deep black, deep green, brown, and warm cream. The image is divided by large flowing curtain-like abstract shapes, creating dramatic negative space and diagonal beams of light. On the right, show an old butler figure seen from behind, wearing formal black tails or a dress coat, with white shirt cuffs visible, hands clasped behind his back, facing a tall window with sheer curtains and soft light. His posture is reserved, solemn, and lonely. In the triangular beam of light below, place a group of dim still lifes: on the table are 3 objects, respectively a wine glass, a teapot, and a plate, all partially hidden in shadow. On the left should be an elegant vertical Chinese title, content , in large pale gold serif typography. Below it include smaller Chinese author and translator lines, and a small Chinese quote. Near the lower left corner, add small English text and , as well as a line of small publisher information and year . The image should have the texture of an award-winning contemporary literary fiction cover: quiet, melancholic, restrained, cinematic, with paper texture, soft vignette, delicate painterly shadows, and a highly intentional asymmetrical layout. Keep typography and design integrated, with abundant negative space, and no bright colors.
