Cheng Yu

Biography

From disgraced celebrity to supernatural icon

Cheng Yu’s public identity is a handsome young actor whose career appears to be collapsing when Du Ge takes control of his body and posts an aggressively positive manifesto. The resulting scandal supplies attention while Du Ge cultivates friendship, joins Daoist Priest Suwen, and develops a primordial spirit. Public footage of “Cheng Yu” fighting ghosts at Tianshi Mountain then reverses ridicule into nationwide fame, making the actor’s face the symbol of a supernatural upheaval he did not personally direct. (Chapters 266–295)

Appearance and abilities

The body gains friendship-driven attributes, cultivation, and a visible primordial spirit through Du Ge’s actions; these are the possessor’s developments rather than abilities shown by Cheng Yu before possession. (Chapters 266–267 and 294–295)

Relationships

• Key relationship: His identity becomes Du Ge’s public mask, allowing Du Ge to turn celebrity attention and an apparent box-office failure into influence and cultivation opportunities. (Chapters 266–267 and 294–295)

Items

His phone and social-media account initiate the publicity campaign; no named personal artifact is associated with the original actor. (Chapters 266–267)
