Ye Miao

Biodata

Background / History

Ye Miao is the only daughter of Mister Ye Hai, the prominent Green Gang leader of the 38th Shop District, and lives at the Golden Orchid Nunnery by the Green Shore River 2. Within the gang compound, she holds a position of high status and is referred to as "Eldest Miss" by the disciples 2. She maintains a close, protective relationship with Xu Yi, a junior disciple of her father, frequently sharing snacks with him and confiding in him 9.

As she grows older, her father arranges for her to be enrolled at St. Mary's Hall, a prestigious missionary girls' school founded by foreigners, in order to elevate her social status and prepare her for the upper crust of society 9 46. Ye Miao strongly resists this plan, resenting her father's expectations that she be packaged for marriage into foreign nobility, and she frequently clashes with him and complains about the school's strict rules and atmosphere 9 46. During her time at school, she experiences bullying from classmates such as Jing Tao, prompting her to turn to Xu Yi for emotional support and protection 45 47.

Personality
