Cast & Character List
Xu Kai as Mei Zhu Yu
Portrayed by Xu Kai, Mei Zhuyu is the righteous and stoic head of the Xuanjian Bureau. As the nephew of Noble Consort Mei, he carries a name, Zhuyu, that evokes poetic grace, yet his own life has been anything but romantic.
Born with the uncanny and burdensome ability to see ghosts, Mei Zhuyu was sent to a remote Taoist temple at a young age. Dedicated entirely to spiritual cultivation, this isolated upbringing shaped him into a man who is serious, inflexible, and completely indifferent to the affairs of the mortal world. For more than two decades, his existence has been a study in quiet monotony.
However, his world is turned upside down when he meets the spirited and vivacious Wu Zhen. In her presence, his long-dormant heart awakens, and for the first time, it beats uncontrollably for her, as if under a spell.
Tian Xi Wei as Wu Zhen
In the world of Moonlit Reunion, Wu Zhen presents a figure of intriguing duality. Publicly, she is known as the County Mistress—the second daughter of the prestigious Duke of Yu's manor and the only sister of the reigning Empress.
Beneath this noble facade, however, she harbors a profound secret. Wu Zhen is the inheritor of a mystical power that allows her to transform into a cat. In this feline form, she serves as the silent, unseen guardian who maintains the delicate peace of the hidden Demon Market.
Unconcerned with her status as an older, unmarried woman, Wu Zhen lives a life of unapologetic freedom. She often wears men's clothing to roam the capital's hunting grounds or frequent lively music halls. She carries herself with a dashing spirit that outshines most men and enjoys a liberty unknown to the sheltered ladies of the aristocracy. Wu Zhen is, in essence, a charismatic and unconventional noblewoman who lives entirely on her own terms.
