Duanmu Zeyu

is Isumi Saginomiya's counterpart in the live action TV series. He is Ju Xuan and Xiao Zhi's childhood friend. Due to his sister's death, he became the heir of the Duanmu household, as usually only women are able to become the heiress.

Appearance
Zeyu has medium black wavy hair. He always wears a very stylish cloth that gives him an aura of gay. Whenever he went to perform an exorcism he always wore a long robe and an eyeliner is drawn on his eyes. He wears a Bai Huang Academy uniform when he's at university.

Characteristics and personality
He is a cheerful guy, unlike his counterpart. Because of how he acts, in one of the earlier episodes, he was mistaken to be gay but it was a misunderstanding. As the Duanmu household heir, he works as a Shaman. Whenever he drained his power from his exorcist's work, he is able to restore his energy faster by hugging Xiao Zhi. This was considered a mystery.

After his 22 birthday, he gradually loses his power to exorcise because he is male. That's why in the Duanmu household the heiress is usually a female.
