Ouyang Yang

**Ouyang Yang** is the son of the Ouyang household, a family that specializes in feng shui, as well as ‘’closed spirits’’.

Ouyang Yang met Duanmu Xi through Qin Shiyao, who is his childhood friend and long-time crush. Qin Shiyao, however, loves Duanmu Xi, even though he doesn’t reciprocate her feelings, and was also his fiancée for a year before breaking off the engagement, as they had agreed. Despite that fact, Ouyang Yang keeps pursuing and supporting her, hoping that she will change her mind someday. When Qin Shiyao isn't involved, he is quite friendly and caring towards Duanmu Xi, even though he is notorious for bringing him bad luck, as whenever they are together something bad happens, with Ouyang Yang believing that this is due to their incompatible horoscopes. He also has a husky named Drew, that had puppies with his neighbor’s dog named Beauty, both of which are familiar with Duanmu Xi.

   Shortly after Yang Jinghua became Duanmu Xi’s shadow spirit, Ouyang Yang was called to the Duanmu household to cooperate with Duanmu Xi as a feng shui master in order to realign the ley lines that had been disturbed on a mountain, due to the construction of a road nearby. The next day, the two of them set off with the train, leaving Yang Jinghua behind. Once they arrived, Duanmu Xi insisted on climbing the mountain to check the site and spent the night on a mountain hut there, so as to not waste any time. Early the next morning, Duanmu Xi finished the realignment, but while Ouyang Yang was checking the results, he slipped from the cliff into a lake below, dragging Duanmu Xi with him. Duanmu Xi managed to get the unconscious Ouyang Yang and himself out, but he couldn’t move any further. Not having any other options he summoned Yang Jinghua using his blood, which attracted demon wolves that wanted to consume his spiritual power. Yang Jinghua showed up in time and managed to save them. When Ouyang Yang regained consciousness and realized that Duanmu Xi had risked his life for him, he started yelling at him, causing Xi to have a panic attack that made him unable to breath. They immediately rushed him to a local clinic where they refused them at first as they had lost their wallets and IDs, but after Yang Jinhua possessed the doctor, they provided medical care to him. After confirming that his breathing difficulty was psychosomatic, Duanmu Xi was discharged and the three of them took the train to return home. During the trip, Ouyang Yang properly introduced himself, explaining that he was named Yang because he was born on the day of the Chongyang festival, and once Duanmu Xi was asleep, he revealed how Xi had praised him earlier, clearing Yang Jinghua’s doubts about their relationship. When they arrived at the Duanmu household, he got to hang out with Qin Shiyao and even tried to celebrate with her the success of their mission, but she smacked him instead for endangering Duanmu Xi.

A few months later, he visited the Duanmu household again for the celebration of the Chongyang festival, which was going to be held there. During the festival, Duanmu Xi decided to publicly break off the engagement with Qin Shiyao, since her father had brought up the matter to him and the one year contract he had agreed with Qin Shiyao had already passed. For publicly shaming her like that, drunk Ouyang Yang began insulting him and proposing to Qin Shiyao, who, however, had left the room.

Not long after that, Qin Shiyao called Ouyang Yang to her household in order to help Duanmu Xi whose body had woken up from the coma but not his spirit. Ouyang Yang understood that it was a case of a false awakening and claimed that he could help, but he hadn’t brought his tools with him. Qin Shiyao then decided to go with him back to his house to get them, but when they returned they were taken hostage by Dr. Sen, who used them, along with Shenlong Zhangxuan, to blackmail Duanmu Xi into coming with him for experiments in his research base. They managed to escape afterwards with the help of Yang Jinghua.

Later, Ouyang Yang assisted in the Heaven and Earth Formation, which would restore the earth's disturbed veins that were messed up by unknown forces that wanted to cause Duanmu Xi’s death on the altar in order to get and eliminate Yang Jinghua.
