Attention all Magic Domain players! This October, our continent of Yate will welcome a new companion who boasts beauty, strength, and background—the golden autumn mythical beast "Yushan Siming · Worryless"! Behind her stands the powerful collaboration between Magic Domain and the dual World Heritage site, Wuyi Mountain. This is not just a simple partnership but a profound resonance from cultural essence to visual expression.
Mountains and rivers have spirits, and tea has a soul: the cultural code behind the mythical beast’s design
The greatest charm of "Yushan Siming · Worryless" lies in her "dual-faced unity" concept: she is both the mountain deity overseeing landscapes and the gentle tea house owner brewing tea with care.
In her backstory, she repeatedly climbs the mountain but is often "advised to turn back"; only after letting go of her obsession does she become the mountain god. This subtly echoes the ancient belief that mountains are not lifeless but living beings with wills. Her transformation from "revenge" to "protection" also reflects the Chinese philosophy of "unity of man and nature" and reverence for the natural world.
Her identity as a "tea lady" vividly brings out the soul of tea. As a renowned tea region, Wuyi Mountain treats tea not just as a beverage but as a way of hospitality and a flavor of life. The name "Worryless" is inspired by the phrase "A cup of clear tea dispels a thousand worries," symbolizing her role in welcoming guests with tea and relieving their troubles—an expressive portrayal of the humanistic care within tea culture.
Even her weapons hide meaningful details: three hairpins transform into blades representing mountain, water, and mist, reminiscent of Wuyi Mountain’s Danxia landforms, Nine-Bend Creek, and tea field mists. The mountain blade signifies "protection," the water blade embodies "integration," and the mist blade conveys "open-mindedness."
From Quanzhou to Harbin: Magic Domain’s “cultural tourism collaboration universe” is expanding
In fact, Magic Domain is no newcomer to the "game + cultural tourism" path. Last year, it partnered with Quanzhou to incorporate local elements like the Xunpu women's flower hairpins and puppet shows into the game; earlier this year, it collaborated with Harbin to turn virtual characters into real snow sculptures. Each collaboration is not a mere "copy-paste" of cultural symbols but a reinterpretation through game language, allowing players to "virtually travel" while leveling up.
This time, the cooperation with Wuyi Mountain takes "cultural tourism collaboration" to a new level: not only does the mythical beast’s design deeply integrate the mountain, water, and tea charm, but the background story also embeds Eastern philosophical reflections. This cultural integration is neither forced nor preachy; instead, it enriches the character’s depth and subtly immerses players in the warmth of traditional culture.
Games are more than just games—they are “new vessels” for cultural heritage
Some say games are the ninth art, and this collaboration between Magic Domain and Wuyi Mountain shows us that games can also serve as "digital vessels" for cultural heritage. Through mythical beast imagery, storylines, and weapon designs, the mountain, water, and tea charm become interactive, perceptible, and possessable game content rather than distant pictures or landscapes in books.
When "Yushan Siming · Worryless" wields her three blades to slay demons and then turns around to brew you a cup of clear tea, you feel not only the thrill of battle but also a cultural resonance spanning millennia. This is the true value of “game + cultural tourism”—not one borrowing the other’s light, but mutual enrichment, allowing traditional culture to "live" anew in the digital world.
This golden autumn, if you’re curious about how a woman becomes a mountain god or how a cup of tea can dissolve countless worries, come meet the "Worryless" mountain deity in Magic Domain. She is more than a new mythical beast; she is a window through which we glimpse the new world digital technology opens for natural culture.
