1000 Princes: Born to Love You News

[p][/p][p]All Princes: Good morning, our Princess! We are the 1000 Princes! The otome game you are playing, "1000 Princes," is set in Fang Kingdom. Right now, we are inside the castle of Fang Kingdom, a newly emerging nation after the Third World War, with its own culture and traditions.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]ChengXun: Today, let’s talk about the colorful envelopes of Fang Kingdom.[/p][p]HaoWei: Not as many people use envelopes as before.[/p][p]CongWei: Yes, but in Fang Kingdom, there are still many occasions when envelopes are needed.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]LingTian: Do you usually receive envelopes in your mailbox?[/p][p]ChengXun: Of course. They usually contain utility bills, notices, and things like that.[/p][p][/p][p]HaoWei: Yes. But in Fang Kingdom, envelopes are often used to hold money.[/p][p]CongWei: Putting cash in an envelope before giving it to someone is a custom in Fang Kingdom.[/p][p][/p][p]LingTian: The meaning of an envelope changes depending on its color.
ChengXun: What envelope colors are common in stationery stores?[/p][p]HaoWei: The common ones are red, gold, and blue,[/p][p]CongWei: Also green and purple,[/p][p]LingTian: I also often see pink and white envelopes.[/p][p][/p][p]ChengXun: Then let’s guess together: in different situations, which color envelope should be used for money?[/p][p]HaoWei: If a friend opens a shop, and we go to celebrate the grand opening, we should put some money in an envelope as a gift. Which color should it be?[/p][p]CongWei: I know! It should be a gold envelope! Because I’ve given one before.[/p][p]LingTian: Yes, because gold symbolizes money, wealth, success, and honor. That’s why you give a gold envelope to a friend who opens a store.[/p][p][/p][p]ChengXun: Actually, not just for opening a store. You can also give a gold envelope when celebrating a promotion, passing an exam, or winning an award.[/p][p]HaoWei: Red envelopes, also known as “hongbao,” are even more common. Do you know when to use them?[/p][p]CongWei: During the New Year Festival, when adults give children lucky money, or when a company boss gives money to employees—it’s always in red envelopes.[/p][p]LingTian: Money in red envelopes represents blessings, good fortune, luck, and well-wishes.[/p][p][/p][p]ChengXun: When do you use green envelopes?[/p][p]HaoWei: If you visit someone who is sick in the hospital, you can put some money in a green envelope as a gift.[/p][p]CongWei: Because green symbolizes life, health, and vitality.[/p][p]LingTian: You can also write “Wishing you a speedy recovery” on the green envelope.[/p][p][/p][p]ChengXun: What about pink envelopes?[/p][p]HaoWei: Pink envelopes are used for confessions of love![/p][p]CongWei: Wow, that’s so romantic! Do they contain love letters?[/p][p]LingTian: Yes, sometimes they also contain a little money, meant for going out to eat or for a date.[/p][p][/p][p]ChengXun: But if you break up or divorce, then you’ll need a blue envelope.[/p][p]HaoWei: Yes, break-up or divorce settlement money is put in blue envelopes.[/p][p]CongWei: That sounds a little sad.[/p][p]LingTian: And it’s said that light blue envelopes mean only a little breakup money, while dark blue envelopes mean a lot of breakup money.[/p][p][/p][p]ChengXun: If you want to thank someone for their help, what color envelope should you use for the thank-you money?[/p][p]HaoWei: Purple envelopes![/p][p]CongWei: Yes, purple represents gratitude.[/p][p]LingTian: For example, students thanking teachers, friends thanking each other, or businesses thanking customers—all use purple envelopes for thank-you money.[/p][p][/p][p]ChengXun: Right, but aren’t there also black envelopes?[/p][p]HaoWei: Those only appear in movies from Fang Kingdom![/p][p]CongWei: Haha, yes, I recently saw black envelopes in a murder drama too.[/p][p]LingTian: Because black envelopes signify revenge and hatred. In real life, stationery stores don’t sell black envelopes.[/p][p][/p][p]ChengXun: The culture of colorful envelopes in Fang Kingdom is very interesting. Different colors represent different meanings.[/p][p]HaoWei: Right, and if you use the wrong color, people might misunderstand![/p][p]CongWei: Yes, and sometimes people deliberately use the wrong color envelope to prank others.[/p][p]LingTian: Also, the downside of colored envelopes is that they reveal the purpose too directly.[/p][p][/p][p]ChengXun: If you don’t want others to know, you can just put the money in a plain white envelope.[/p][p]HaoWei: In Fang Kingdom, white envelopes are the most ordinary, the most common, and have no special meaning.[/p][p]CongWei: If you’re unsure which color envelope to use, you can always use a white one—it won’t be wrong.[/p][p]LingTian: Alright, that’s the end of today’s discussion about colorful envelopes.[/p][p][/p][p]ChengXun: I am ChengXun[/p][p]HaoWei: I am HaoWei[/p][p]CongWei: I am CongWei[/p][p]LingTian: I am LingTian[/p][p]All Princes: We are the 1000 Princes, and we’re happy to share Fang Kingdom’s culture with you![/p][p][/p]

[p]Dear Princess Player, we’re so glad you're reading this issue of *Castle of the Princes*. We are “Four Ducks,” the developers of *1000 Princes*.[/p][p]🍆 First, please enter the Prince’s Game Room![/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][p]The paid version of the otome game *1000 Princes* has been updated to v2.3, featuring a new trial segment of the “Personal Romance ~ HaoWei 1” route! You can now experience a romantic storyline with HaoWei, who deeply cares for and cherishes you! The trial script of *HaoWei 1* is approximately 4000 words long, with a new playtime of about 20 minutes. As a visual novel, the game focuses heavily on immersive storytelling and visuals.[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p]*HaoWei 1* Trial Storyline[/p][p]◆ Romance Section: Your devoted warlord brother HaoWei can't bear to see you, an entertainment agent, constantly running around exhausted. He offers you a relaxed post in the military band, but you gently refuse. One night, your male artist Panda is completely worn out from filming and collapses into bed in the only hotel room available. To avoid gossip, you sleep alone on the hotel lobby sofa. When HaoWei finds out, he flies into a rage, personally summons Panda and scolds him harshly. HaoWei cannot tolerate you being mistreated—even a little.[/p][p]◆ Murder Mystery Section: In this chapter, *HaoWei 1*, your artist Panda is involved in a bizarre murder case. On set, someone has been killed—the victim is the mother of a child model. Her death is horrifying: her head was tightly wrapped with ordinary brown tape. With so many people at the scene, who dared to commit such a crime? Why choose such a strange and time-consuming method to kill her? And how did the murderer do it? To prove Panda’s innocence and protect his image, you—as his agent—must uncover clues and solve the case to find the real killer! [/p][p][/p][p]*The Four Bears* Sub-series[/p][p]The *Four Bears* sub-series centers on the emotional ties between you and four male characters: Panda the idol, HaoWei the warlord brother (Brown Bear), Bai QianYi the wealthy fiancé (White Bear), and MoMo the detective (Black Bear). Each episode is named after one of these bears—this chapter, titled *HaoWei*, focuses on your romantic relationship with him. Every *Four Bears* episode includes both sweet romance and a murder mystery![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink] [/p][p][/p][p][hr][/hr]🌵 Next, head to the Prince’s Library![/p][p]*1000 Princes* now offers the *Learning Languages with 1000 Princes* eBook series. The first title is *Japanese Learning 1 ~ Learn Japanese with 1000 Princes*, which includes engaging dialogues, vocabulary, grammar explanations, full-color pages, and audio features. [/p][p][/p][p]Currently available with explanations in Chinese, English, Korean, and French. You can find it by searching the title on Google Play Books.[/p][p]Future releases will include learning books for *Korean*, *Chinese*, and *Thai*. [/p][p][hr][/hr][/p][p]
[/p][p]🌕 Finally, come visit our game development studio![/p][p]We Four Ducks always work together in this studio! Since we create otome games, we care deeply about the thoughts and feedback of female players.
[/p][p]
[/p][p]Our initial design included realistic cavemen and aliens—an idea all four of us loved and thought was fun and unique. We assumed female players would enjoy it too. However, once we released it in Duck Nation, we received numerous complaints from female players saying the game lacked any romantic atmosphere and instead felt creepy and disturbing. That’s when we realized—we desperately need a female team member who loves otome games to help provide a woman's perspective and guide the design. You’ll also learn all the stages of game development. Together, we’ll build something amazing.
So… could the girl reading this newsletter right now be the one who joins our studio?[/p][p]Actually, we Four Ducks are also your husbands—we’ve always known that one day we’d meet you in the studio. We look forward to the day we finally see you![/p][p]
