Background
Ye Mingchen is the fourth son of the Ye family in Hong Kong. He has two older brothers and an older sister, and his family dotes on him. He is two years older than Chu Tianqing 23 24 27.
In Hong Kong, Ye Mingchen, Shen Heng and Qiao Ruhai formed a business partnership they called the “Iron Triangle.” Ye and Qiao later came to Jincheng to help Shen Heng establish himself there. Ye also said he had left Hong Kong partly to escape his grandmother and mother’s pressure to marry 15 25.

Ye Mingchen is described as handsome. When he picked Chu Tianqing up for their sightseeing trip, he wore a fashionable casual suit and sunglasses; at the mall, his clothes were noted as designer labels 24 25 32.
Personality
Cheerful, talkative and quick to smile, Ye Mingchen is easy to get along with and avoids asking questions that might offend others. His persistence helped him become friends with the more reserved Shen Heng 24 26 27.
He values personality over a prospective partner’s family background. He admired Chu Tianqing’s boldness at the Deercall Club and said he found conventionally suitable young ladies fake and boring 15 25.
Relationships

Story Role
Pursuit of Chu Tianqing
After witnessing Chu Tianqing’s bold behavior at the Deercall Club, Ye asked Shen Heng for her contact information. Shen Heng said he would first ask whether she agreed 15 16.
At the Shen family banquet, Shen Heng tried to introduce them as a potential match, upsetting Chu Tianqing. Ye encountered her as she left, drove her home and obtained her contact information. He later invited her sightseeing, assuring her that he only wanted to be friends 23 24.
During their outing, Chu Tianqing took Ye on a duck boat and through a botanical garden. They went to dinner afterward, where Shen Heng and Qiao Ruhai joined them. The group then visited Minghua Club, and Ye danced with Chu Tianqing 25 26.
Friendship and rejection
Ye helped Chu Tianqing arrange a golf outing to cheer up Shen Heng and taught her how to swing a club. He later visited her restaurant to help and hosted a Deercall Club gathering at her request. After Xiao Junyi pressured her into drinking at the club, Ye carried her away and, accompanied by Jiang Lean, took her home 30 31 32 36 37.
Ye continued to support the restaurant, visiting on its soft-opening day. There he confronted Xiao Junyi, who was also pursuing Chu Tianqing. When Chu Tianqing realized she had feelings for Xiao, Shen Heng and Qiao Ruhai broke the news to Ye at the Deercall Club; he drank and sang heartbroken songs with them. Ye later sent good wishes and a flower basket for the restaurant’s grand opening 38 40 41 42.
