“Photorealistic cinematic scene of a pregnant Chinese woman sitting in a cozy café by the window, reading a book. She appears calm, gentle, and thoughtful, with one hand resting naturally near her belly. On the table beside her is a cup of coffee, softly steaming. Outside the large window, heavy rain pours down, with streaks of water on the glass and a blurred rainy street beyond. The café interior is warm and inviting, with soft ambient lighting, wooden textures, and a peaceful atmosphere that contrasts with the storm outside. The composition should feel intimate, emotional, and serene, with the woman as the clear focal point.”Photorealism
