Lunmei is one of the two founders of the “League of Treasure-Burying Captains,” and as her name suggests, she is almost certainly a mermaid from the South China Sea. Her initiative, co-founded with Corazón from the Philippine Sea, reveals her to be an adventurous and creative spirit. The league’s purpose—to bury treasures for others to find—suggests that Lunmei is driven by a love for adventure and a desire to keep the spirit of exploration alive. Huang Yan’s deduction that she and her partner are likely treasure seekers who, after failing to find anything themselves, decided to create their own fun, paints a picture of someone who is resourceful and optimistic. Instead of being discouraged by failure, she transformed that experience into a new, communal game.
This action positions Lunmei as a preserver of wonder and nostalgia. The treasure hunt at the Sea Pirates’ Camp was a significant, if ultimately disappointing, childhood memory for Huang Yan. By starting this league, Lunmei is effectively institutionalizing that same sense of anticipation and adventure for a new generation. Her collaboration with someone from a different sea, Corazón, marks her as open-minded and diplomatic, interested in building bridges through shared fun rather than political maneuvering. She represents a vibrant, grassroots subculture within the merworld—one focused on play, mystery, and the simple joy of the hunt. While her physical character is not described, her actions define her as a proactive, community-minded individual with a passion for storytelling and adventure.
