Prompt

A literary book cover in a refined minimalist editorial style, vertically oriented, with a muted palette of deep black, dark green, sepia, and warm cream. The composition is divided by large flowing curtain-like abstract shapes that create dramatic negative space and diagonal wedges of light. On the right side, show an elderly butler-like man seen from behind, standing upright in a formal black tailcoat or tuxedo jacket, white shirt cuffs visible, hands clasped behind his back, facing a tall softly glowing window with sheer curtains. His posture is reserved, dignified, and solitary. On the lower portion, within a triangular beam of light, place a dim still life on a table: exactly 3 objects, a wine glass, a teapot, and a plate, all partially obscured in shadow. The left side should carry elegant vertical Chinese title typography reading {argument name="title text" default="长日将尽"}, set large in pale gold serif-like characters. Beneath it, include smaller Chinese author and translator lines, and a short Chinese quote in small text. Near the lower left, add small English text reading {argument name="english title" default="The Remains of the Day"} and {argument name="author name" default="Kazuo Ishiguro"}, plus a small publisher line and the year {argument name="year" default="2024"}. The image should feel like an award-winning contemporary literary fiction cover: quiet, melancholic, restrained, cinematic, with paper grain texture, soft vignette, subtle painterly shading, and highly intentional asymmetrical layout. Keep the typography integrated into the design, with generous negative space and no bright colors.
