A name isn’t a label. It’s where the soul begins.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1GQRrXZTX
When Yun Cangyue and Liu Xiyu took form,307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlurcXC42c
the story of their love finally began.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFIPgrJoak
“Names?” 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjHRpzrL0k
The manager asked casually.
The director, mid-sip, nearly choked on his water. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9o4avuuBa
“Not yet…” he wheezed. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40W8FBGioq
“We just finished the worldbuilding discussion.”
“No names yet, and you want to cast people?” 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQDn5lh8hv
“What do we say—‘Hi, Miss Bunny, please read for Nameless Role #1’?”
The screenwriter adjusted his glasses. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZDs3Vwv5Q
“Alright. What kind of names are we going for?”
“Poetic. With a sense of fate. Nothing too modern, but not completely out of place either.” 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gl5RKpqXb
The director tried to summarize.
“…So you want a name that sounds like it belongs somewhere between the cosmos and a convenience store”
The art lead raised her hand.
“I have one.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUN7tGGWNW
She looked serious. Her voice, resolute.
“The bunny is—Yue Xiling.”
The screenwriter went quiet for a moment.
“You mean Yue like ‘moonlight’, Xi like ‘tides’, and Ling as in so cold it freezes your soul?”
“She’s a spirit of reincarnation. She needs presence.”
“That’s not ‘presence.’ That’s a name that needs two font sizes larger just so viewers can figure out how to pronounce it.”
“Then you try. Give me something elegant.”
“The human girl is—Lin Wan.”
“…You want her to bring a thermos and do square dancing on the moon?”
“Stop it.” 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu8FbA71mD
The director raised a hand.
The manager flipped through a name database. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitXRL2iGZc
“Let’s check if either name’s in the top 100—we don’t want any awkward name clashes later.”
The art lead added another.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIFwOe7B38
“Then what about Yun Cangyue for the bunny?”
“Oh?” 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWezBB4Y51T
The screenwriter glanced up.
“Yun, ephemeral like drifting clouds. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtg0o29raO
Cang, for the sea and all it’s seen change. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxnkOzwMSa
Yue, the legendary pearl of myth.” 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTPBL1YgWM
“She may seem fragile, but her memories are profound.”
This time, the screenwriter didn’t shoot it down. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWuIcf7RyW
He tapped a few keys and nodded.
“For the human girl…” 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0417Kf0CD
The director offered a thought. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZAWnFX1pI
“Someone warm and unwavering. The kind who can reach into the dark and bring her back.”
The screenwriter thought. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5kMK2lu9W
“Liu Xiyu?”
The art lead’s brows lifted.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAt0IOBQNS
“Liu stands for softness, Xi for light, Yu for freedom.”
“...That’s annoyingly beautiful,” the art lead admitted.
The manager looked up at the whiteboard.
“Bunny beastkin: Yun Cangyue. Remnants of a past life.” 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYoDgzHE5o
“Human girl: Liu Xiyu. Light of a new beginning. Yet to awaken.”
The director nodded. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKzKlYO7Sr
“Note it down. Send it to casting.”
He exhaled. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YPxybNRb2
“At last… we actually have a show to make.”
and then Add to home screen.
