纱中幽兰 Orchid's Evening Gown

凝光的礼服装扮。绀蓝长裙勾勒出丽人优雅的曲线，脚踝上的蝶翼又为她平添了几分轻盈。 Ningguang's formal wear. The long cyan skirt traces her elegant curves, and the butterfly wings at her ankles lend the outfit a touch of light grace.

璃月商界叱咤风云人物，天权凝光，脸上似乎永远挂着自信沉稳的微笑。

Ningguang, the great mover and shaker of Liyue's mercantile spheres, always seems to have a confident, steady smile on her face.

但这样的她，其实和普通的璃月人一样，也会为懊丧、不甘、落寞等种种愁思感到困扰。

But even she cannot escape the vagaries of depression, reluctance, loneliness, and other anxieties that trouble the ordinary people of Liyue.

曾经，在璃月港遭逢大难之际，凝光不得已而亲手牺牲了群玉阁——那座她苦心营建了数年的天上行宫。

Once, when Liyue Harbor teetered on the brink of a crisis, Ningguang was forced to sacrifice her Jade Chamber — the sky palace she had built up for many years through much sweat and tears.

往昔点滴回忆，或甜或苦，都随群玉阁一同沉入大海。即便是凝光，心中也无比不舍。

All the memories of her past, sweet or bitter, were cast into the ocean with the Jade Chamber, and there they sank. Even one such as Ningguang could nary bear the loss.

就算尘埃落定后，她终于得到机会重筑过去的梦，也时常暗自喟叹。

Even after the dust had settled and the opportunity to rebuild the Chamber came, she still spent much time in troubled consideration.

世事多如此，不知何时就会面临失去。

Many things happen in this world — who could say when great loss might loom?

每念及此，不禁怅然。

Each time she thought on this, she would feel depressed.

当空中盛宴再次开场，凝光身着一袭幽蓝礼裙款款上前，举杯邀请众人共同庆贺。

As the banquet in the skies began anew, Ningguang stepped forward in her indigo dress to invite the gathered guests to celebrate with her.

然而，在觥筹交错的间隙，在名物珍玩、金浆玉馔、乐声、笑闹声织就的海洋中，

Yet amid the revelry, amidst the sea of famous relics, precious trinkets, fine cuisine, and the cries of joy and laughter,

璃月的天权星却再次被愁思攫住了心怀。

Liyue's Tianquan was once again gripped by melancholy.

心中烦闷的她走出席间，来到夜空下。

Leaving her seat, she stood under the night sky with a clouded heart.

远处楼宇内的欢声笑语已不可闻，茫茫天地中她似乎孤身一人。

The sounds of cheer within the pavilion could no longer be heard from this far away — it was as if she were alone under the stars.

她像过去常做的那样，再次俯瞰脚下的璃月——

As she often would in past, she gazed down at Liyue beneath her feet—

幽幽月光如轻纱般拢住璃月。自碧水原至璃沙郊，大地显出一片壮阔的柔白。

The faint moonlight seemed to be cast about Liyue's face like a veil. From Bishui Plain to Lisha, the land was painted a magnificent, gentle white.

这是凝光最熟悉的景象。自群玉阁落成，每晚她眼中所见的天地都是如此磅礴。

This was a sight that Ningguang was most familiar with. Ever since the Jade Chamber was completed, she would gaze upon this majestic view every night.

时光荏苒，群山沧海依旧。

Time flies, but the mountains and seas remain.

「人世无常中，其中却也有着不易改变的事物啊。

"The mortal world is fleeting, but there are things that will not change so easily."

「百年之后，天地万象或有不同。可到那一日，我的容颜已经逝去，身躯化作枯骨。

"A hundred years from now, perhaps, all things might be different. But then, my beauty would have faded, my body reduced to withered bones."

「这一袭长裙，无论曾流转出何种光华，届时也早已黯淡。

"This garment, too, will by then have grown dull, no matter how opulent it may have been in its prime."

「不过，只要我存在于世，便有数之不尽的财富任我支配，有尊为天权的力量随我调用。

"But so long as I live, riches uncounted shall be at my disposal, as shall the Tianquan's authority, so vested in me."

「此生定当尽兴而活。权势、富贵、情谊，均不可有缺憾。

"I will live this life to the full — lacking not at all for power, wealth, or friends."

「这不是我早就认定的事情么？既然如此，又怎能落入窠臼，因一时之虚无而迷失心智。

"Was this not what I resolved to do from the beginning? If so, then how could I simply allow myself to fall into this pit — to lose my wits because of a moment's emptiness?"

「正因人生短暂，才更要惜取这百年。

"Life must be treasured precisely because it is fleeting."

「哪怕千秋万代，之后的人也都将记住这个名字——凝光。」

"But a thousand, even ten thousand years from now, those who come after will remember this name — Ningguang."

她转身回到席间，心中已然清明。

As she returned to the feast, her heart was clear.

再露面时，天权凝光面上又是自信沉稳的微笑。

And when she emerged before the crowd again, the Tianquan Ningguang wore that calm, self-assured smile once more.
