Background

Ye Chen rose through the Western dark world by taking assassination missions, eventually becoming a Hall Master of the Temple of the God of Slaughter. He accumulated multinational corporations worth hundreds of billions of dollars and built connections with financial magnates and political families before abruptly withdrawing from public view at age twenty-nine. 437

He married Joanna Qiao and spent more than two years as the Qiao Family’s live-in son-in-law. Although he held considerable power, he concealed his Temple identity because assassins were poorly regarded in Dragon Country; he instead sought a peaceful life and Joanna’s affection. This left him vulnerable to humiliation and abuse from his mother-in-law, Yang Liping. 448 621

Personality

Ye Chen is fiercely proud of his status and martial strength, yet he is willing to endure indignity for Joanna and his desired domestic life. He interprets the contempt of the Qiao Family and its guests as proof that they cannot understand his ambitions. 448 617

His restraint deteriorates rapidly when provoked or when Joanna is involved. He becomes impulsive, confrontational, and openly violent, particularly after learning that Jiang Che intends to meet Joanna alone. 619 621 627
