Duan Zhengchun is featured as a character in Jin Yong's wuxia novel Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. In the story, he is the younger brother of Duan Zhengming (ruler of Dali) and holds the title "Zhennan Prince". He is next in line to succession to the throne as his older brother is going to retire soon and become a monk at Heavenly Dragon Monastery, as part of the royal family's tradition.
In his younger days, Duan Zhengchun is notorious for his flirtatious behavior, and he has fathered five daughters with four of his five illicit lovers. His legal spouse Dao Baifeng bears him a son, Duan Yu. However, Duan Yu turns out not to be Duan Zhengchun's biological son. Dao Baifeng was furious with Duan Zhengchun's promiscuous extramarital love life, and she deliberately had a one night stand with a beggar and gave birth to Duan Yu later. The beggar is actually Duan Yanqing, formerly the crown prince of Dali, who would become Duan Zhengchun's nemesis in future.
