Umamu’s inspiration comes from the Yeti of the Himalaya legends. The Yeti is often considered a guardian spirit of the Himalayan peaks.

The Yeti symbolizes the untamed and wild nature of the mountain wilderness, something that is portrayed in Umamu’s personality. Himalayan folklore states that encountering a Yeti is seen as a test of one’s courage and resilience. Those who survive such encounters are said to be blessed with strength and wisdom.

2 reflects many things; a pair of lovers, life and death, yin and yang. At it's core it's meaning is balance - two halves to every whole.

Find out what happens when that balance is upset in My Lovely Empress…

Lady Emei is inspired by Bai Suzhen, the white snake spirit from the Chinese Legend of the White Snake.

In Chinese mythology, she is deemed as a symbol of true love and kindness, something that we also take for her story (that we can't reveal too much, because it would be spoilers!), despite her personality being cold like the cold-blooded snake.

Will you swipe right on our lovely rulers? 👀

Emperor Hong wishes to bring his Empresses spirit fully back from the dead…

Usually mermaids are linked to European folktales, but Piscis’ inspiration comes from the Asian mermaids from various Greater East Asian countries. China has the Di people and renyu, Japan has ningyo, and even Indonesia has Nyai Roro Kidul and her mermaid-like form, Nyai Blorong. But we tried to emphasize Piscis’ tragic past as a mermaid and how humans treated mermaids as creatures to be hunted down.

Gumiho is inspired by various fox spirits from the Greater East Asian mythology such as Kumiho from Korea, Kitsune from Japan, Huli jing from China, and Hồ ly tinh from Vietnam.

Gumiho’s mischievous nature and her loveless romantic personality come from the fox spirit legends and folk stories, where they try to disguise themselves as a human woman, longing to be loved by a human man, yet struggling with her more animalistic urges.
