Background
Ye Mengyao is the only daughter and pampered “little princess” of Hang City's Ye Family. She grew up alongside Jiang Che as his childhood sweetheart and attended Shilan School, where she was known as the Campus Belle and a high-achieving student. 3 74
Before Jiang Che's change in attitude, she regarded him more as a brother than a romantic interest. Her androphobia, pride in her academic performance, and blunt disdain for Jiang Che's poor grades caused her to take his devotion for granted. 4 12 15
Jiang Che's public refusal to drive her home forces her to confront how accustomed she had become to his attention. Her initial confusion develops into regret, jealousy, and a determined effort to repair their relationship. 3 4 12
Appearance
Ye Mengyao is a celebrated school beauty whose appearance and style visibly change with her state of mind and cultivation.
- Initially wears her long, dark hair in a single ponytail and favors white or light-yellow clothing. 70

- Her hair becomes entirely white after cultivating the Way of Oblivion; paired with white robes, it gives her an ethereal, remote presence. 625 628
Personality
Early on, Ye Mengyao is aloof, proud, and emotionally inarticulate. Used to being indulged as the Ye Family's eldest daughter, she assumes Jiang Che will comply with her requests and is deeply humiliated when he does not. Her androphobia also makes her reject close male protection, including Lin Yu's proposed role as her bodyguard. 3 4
Her feelings for Jiang Che become increasingly intense once his attention shifts away from her. She grows proactive—bringing him breakfast, asking to tutor him, dressing up for him, and openly confessing her feelings—yet remains sensitive to his coldness and to perceived rivals such as Yu Wan'er, Qin Qiaoqiao, and Shen Yu. 46 53 64 83 236
Despite her jealousy, Ye Mengyao remains deeply attached to Yu Wan'er. She ultimately forgives Wan'er's past schemes and continues to regard her as a good friend. 314
Her fear of becoming unworthy of Jiang Che drives her into dangerous cultivation. After recovering from the Supreme Emotionless Immortal's influence, she deliberately seeks a path that lets her pursue strength without abandoning the emotions she values. 627 628 642
