Lian studied the scroll, its meaning slowly unraveling. Each symbol seemed to guide her to a deeper understanding of her art and the year ahead. The possibilities were endless, but they came with choices that could alter her path forever. "I must decide carefully," she whispered, sensing the weight of her responsibility.

Lian closed her eyes, letting the universe guide her thoughts. The Wooden Snake's energy called for growth and change, urging her to embrace new opportunities. "I will follow the path this year has laid before me," she resolved, feeling a newfound sense of purpose.

As the first light touched the city, Lian began her journey, the scroll safely tucked away. Each step felt lighter, as if the Wooden Snake itself was guiding her. "This year will be transformative," she affirmed, ready to embrace the unknown and all the possibilities it held.
