A name isn’t a label. It’s where the soul begins.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5nyZxLe2U
When Yun Cangyue and Liu Xiyu took form,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ985rNTsAfk
the story of their love finally began.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfagVnWhV8w
“Names?” 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjSA9JOPvw
The manager asked casually.
The director, mid-sip, nearly choked on his water. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtngzhZg4vW
“Not yet…” he wheezed. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNcgIdVpbn
“We just finished the worldbuilding discussion.”
“No names yet, and you want to cast people?” 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaerCHtKEsL
“What do we say—‘Hi, Miss Bunny, please read for Nameless Role #1’?”
The screenwriter adjusted his glasses. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s529xGbTq
“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.” 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1Q7JxKPlM
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.”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu70tWpYwJ
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.” 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsM20FFKSt
The director raised a hand.
The manager flipped through a name database. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZyN7o5hc2
“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.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitdeaLEVp6
“Then what about Yun Cangyue for the bunny?”
“Oh?” 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkl0u6Zuzf
The screenwriter glanced up.
“Yun, ephemeral like drifting clouds. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABR4eYp180
Cang, for the sea and all it’s seen change. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwUxmvS73a
Yue, the legendary pearl of myth.” 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWNcRGcgPf
“She may seem fragile, but her memories are profound.”
This time, the screenwriter didn’t shoot it down. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf53zDqupJ
He tapped a few keys and nodded.
“For the human girl…” 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c3HL90kFd
The director offered a thought. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73lbxVm9CL
“Someone warm and unwavering. The kind who can reach into the dark and bring her back.”
The screenwriter thought. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG1cRdlARm
“Liu Xiyu?”
The art lead’s brows lifted.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKy4o3VJRF
“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.” 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUIcIpwE6V
“Human girl: Liu Xiyu. Light of a new beginning. Yet to awaken.”
The director nodded. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlKBJbZj6J
“Note it down. Send it to casting.”
He exhaled. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21jDyuArVk
“At last… we actually have a show to make.”
and then Add to home screen.
