Ye Yiwei

Biodata

Background and History

Ye Yiwei grew up studying singing under his parents, both opera singers. Although they hoped he would become an artist, he joined the armed police and served three years in a mobile unit, primarily handling patrols and emergencies 2 6.

During a plainclothes patrol, he was stabbed by someone claiming to be the smuggling-ring figure “Bro Buffing.” The injury caused him to miss his childhood friend’s debut, leading to a falling-out when the friend believed he had stayed away deliberately. Ye removed his other scars before going undercover but kept the one on his lower abdomen as a reminder 2 32.

While interning with the police economic crimes department, Ye entered Star Radiance as a trainee to investigate suspected tax evasion by instructor Tao Zhenting. The company’s connections to the smuggling ring were another reason for his assignment 2.

Personality

Ye is cold and reserved on the surface but warmhearted and quick to help others. He tends to keep his thoughts to himself and dislikes verbal sparring, leaving him vulnerable to misunderstandings 2 3 16.
