Project Rationale:
“For our team, we decided that we wanted to come up with something fun and sort of exciting for our creative project. After all sharing some interest in two ideas that we discussed; designing outfits for the story’s characters and also writing letters that were shared between characters, we thought why can we not include both topics which we had interest in. To pair the two topics together, we decided to design the outfits and write letters to/from the same characters, including Li Yuanzhi, Li Kexiu, and Lu Feiqing.
[…]
Furthermore, our team was inspired by the fact that Jin Yong’s work features powerful female characters, like Li Yuanzhi, who is not only a character to await romance, but has her own personal aspirations and strong will that guide her to master her craft of martial arts.”
