A name isn’t a label. It’s where the soul begins.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTXhGmqcfq
When Yun Cangyue and Liu Xiyu took form,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAXaQfLTzV
the story of their love finally began.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9ac9xfvTu
“Names?” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36eY7yQdzd
The manager asked casually.
The director, mid-sip, nearly choked on his water. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjNx4QFnkp
“Not yet…” he wheezed. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu1FHzmyus
“We just finished the worldbuilding discussion.”
“No names yet, and you want to cast people?” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGtlDvkJbu
“What do we say—‘Hi, Miss Bunny, please read for Nameless Role #1’?”
The screenwriter adjusted his glasses. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhP63U2ShV
“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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHilfai3rdo
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.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDq1kW7OTo
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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qHcMLLNkb
The director raised a hand.
The manager flipped through a name database. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaEmvtszdY
“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.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaGox7US3T
“Then what about Yun Cangyue for the bunny?”
“Oh?” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt9NrFmRYd
The screenwriter glanced up.
“Yun, ephemeral like drifting clouds. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2ZjPg8izA
Cang, for the sea and all it’s seen change. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio1JewMiPQ
Yue, the legendary pearl of myth.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzusSYMMZfl
“She may seem fragile, but her memories are profound.”
This time, the screenwriter didn’t shoot it down. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3k8SY1FCb
He tapped a few keys and nodded.
“For the human girl…” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ofJAwbURR
The director offered a thought. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7RM06XowK
“Someone warm and unwavering. The kind who can reach into the dark and bring her back.”
The screenwriter thought. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgKpRQ3Sxm
“Liu Xiyu?”
The art lead’s brows lifted.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF9SYrtcVM
“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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5GtgY79z8
“Human girl: Liu Xiyu. Light of a new beginning. Yet to awaken.”
The director nodded. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkKV8USpsT
“Note it down. Send it to casting.”
He exhaled. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Jxso42Sv
“At last… we actually have a show to make.”
