Hmmm, well Xingcai's biography in DW7 says she "represents the hope of Shu's future" and that's why they named her Xingcai 星彩, because the characters 星彩 mean "Bright Star" (= hope).

Whether he thinks Xingcai and Jing'ai sound similar is thus not relevant.

Anyway, Xingcai is a fictional character created by Omega Force/Koei, so only they know who she is based on. In Dynasty Warriors 7 they actually provide us with the answer, which I also included in her little bio here on the site: http://thethreekingdoms.wikia.com/wiki/Zhang_Xingcai_%E5%BC%B5%E6%98%9F%E5%BD%A9
