In fact, it is a metaphor for sugar cane, which represents the story of the Malaysian Fujianese who worshiped the god at the New Year’s Day. People pay most attention to the days, so she also hopes that other Fujianese people will not forget the cultural customs of the New Year's Day.

　　In addition to the "Crashing Princess" series, Chen Wanyi also incorporated some Malaysian elements in the details of the costume design to promote Malaysia's unique culture.
