Background / History

Ye Liang underwent repeated selection within the Ye Family from childhood before earning a place beside Mo Lu. He regarded service in the ancient Mo Family as an exceptional honor and considered Weisheng Tou’s immediate acceptance undeserved 4.

He and Mo Lu grew up together. Before Weisheng Tou arrived, Ye Liang was the only person outside the Mo Family permitted close to Mo Lu. His position also increased the Ye Family’s influence within the Empire 2 29 39.

The Ye Family primarily operates entertainment venues, including a bar, and has underworld roots with ruthless men at its disposal. These resources later enabled Ye Liang to arrange an attack on his rival 26 29 31.

Appearance

• Face: Handsome and resolute, with chiseled features; later described as ruggedly handsome 2 7 27.
• Eyes: Amber 6.
• Curse Seal: Previously bore Mo Lu’s seal on his left arm; Mo Lu removed it upon dismissing him 34.

Personality

Ye Liang is outwardly respectful toward Mo Lu, addressing him as “young master,” bowing, and attending to his household needs. Toward outsiders, he is frequently contemptuous and aggressive: he calls the caged Weisheng Tou a beast and kicks Weisheng Yan for speaking without permission 1 2.

His loyalty becomes entangled with romantic possessiveness. He resents other Alphas gaining Mo Lu’s attention, including Weisheng Tou and Mo Runyan, and initially struggles with the implications of loving someone he believes is another Alpha 20 21.

Ye Liang places considerable confidence in his experience and long relationship with Mo Lu. He assumes those advantages will let him defeat Weisheng Tou or preserve Mo Lu’s favor even after arranging an assassination. Both assumptions prove wrong 7 29 34 37.

When threatened with exposure, he redirects blame, demands evidence, and questions the investigation. After dismissal, his grief does not end his resentment; he returns intending to reclaim his place and escalates the rivalry into another fight 31 32 34 36.

Abilities & Skills

Mint Pheromones

Ye Liang’s pheromones have distinct effects on himself and opponents 36.

• Clear his mind and sharpen his senses.
• Chill an opponent’s body and slow their movements.
• Can exert enough Alpha pressure to help pin Lu Yunsheng and his attendants in place 26.
• Normally fall short against Weisheng Tou’s Super S-Rank power; enhancement temporarily closes part of that gap 36 37.

Close-Quarters Combat

Ye Liang has years of combat experience gained while serving beside Mo Lu 7.

• Uses punches, knee strikes, kicks, blocks, and evasive movements 6 7 37.
• Repeatedly loses to Weisheng Tou, who catches his punches and exploits openings with greater speed and precision 6 7.
• Remains outmatched even when enhanced and attacking Weisheng Tou’s wounded arm 37.

Household Management and Investigation

• Guards Mo Lu’s room and carries out personal errands 2 6.
• Rejects prospective visitors and oversees Weisheng Tou’s introduction to household service 5 7.
• Investigates Weisheng Tou’s childhood, confinement, and military treatment at Mo Lu’s request 8 13.
• Cannot uncover why the military stopped treating Weisheng Tou; Mo Lu orders him to discontinue further inquiry 13.

Curse-Bound Service

Ye Liang’s former position was enforced by Mo Lu’s Curse Technique.

• Mo Lu can compel his physical submission, forcing him to his knees when he refuses an order 16.
• The seal does not prevent his jealousy from driving him to attack Weisheng Tou 29 34.
• Removing the seal formally ends his service to Mo Lu 34.

Equipment / Items

• Pheromone-blocking patch — Worn over the gland at the back of his neck 6.
• Communication bracelet/band — Used to browse news and contact the Ye Family 23 29 32.
• Enhancement Agent — Injected before his final fight with Weisheng Tou to improve his combat performance and pheromone resistance 36 37.
• Healing Talisman — Activated alongside the Enhancement Agent. Its effects help him survive long enough for Mo Lu to intervene 36 38.

Relationships

• Mo Lu — Childhood friend, former master, and unrequited love. Mo Lu rejects his romantic advances and dismisses him, but later saves his life out of affection and medical duty 27 34 39.
• Weisheng Tou — Rival for Mo Lu’s attention. Their hostility progresses from taunts and brief fights to an assassination attempt and a near-fatal confrontation 6 7 29 37.
• Ye Song — Father. Supports the assassination operation while warning about Weisheng Tou’s Imperial connections; later arrives grieving over his son’s injuries 29 31 40.
• Mo Yan — Watched Ye Liang and Mo Lu grow up. His sensory investigation helps expose the Ye Family’s attack, and he escorts Ye Liang away after dismissal 32 34.
• Mo Runyan — Distrusted by Ye Liang, who considers his manner false and dislikes his influence within the Mo Family 21.
• Weisheng Yan — Treated with open contempt during Weisheng Tou’s delivery to the Mo residence 1 2.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Weisheng Tou’s Arrival

Ye Liang initially opposes accepting Weisheng Tou and objects to his use of Mo Lu’s private Hidden Splendor Pool. When Tou becomes violent during bathing, Mo Lu explicitly warns Ye Liang that he cannot handle him 1 2.

Mo Lu’s personal treatment of Tou intensifies Ye Liang’s jealousy. He challenges the decision, then attacks Tou after being taunted about the care Mo Lu has given him. Tou easily stops his punch. A later fight ends with Ye Liang knocked down by a strike to the knee 6 7.

Investigation and Rejection

At Mo Lu’s command, Ye Liang investigates Tou’s past and reports his confinement and military treatment. He subsequently resists searching for Tou after an unexplained absence, prompting Mo Lu to force his obedience through the Curse Technique 8 13 16 17.

As rumors spread about Mo Lu and Tou, Ye Liang turns his anger toward the Weisheng Family. After Mo Lu identifies Tou as a bedmate, Ye Liang openly asks why he was not chosen instead. Mo Lu orders him out 21 23 27.

Assassination Attempt and Dismissal

Ye Liang asks his father to have Tou killed, believing his childhood bond with Mo Lu will protect him from serious consequences. The Ye Family sends attackers to the Lu residence, but Tou kills them despite receiving a shoulder wound 29 30.

Ye Liang tries to attribute the wound to the Lu Family. Mo Yan’s investigation instead identifies ginger pheromones associated with Ye Ling, exposing the Ye Family’s involvement 31 32 34.

Mo Lu rejects Ye Liang’s feelings, removes his Curse Seal, and orders him back to the Ye Family, warning him not to harm Tou again. Their shared childhood is the reason Mo Lu spares him despite his knowledge of family secrets 34.

Final Fight and Paralysis

After unsuccessfully seeking intervention from Mo Family members, Ye Liang returns to Lan Mountain Residence and encounters Tou outside. He uses an Enhancement Agent and Healing Talisman, believing Tou’s wounded arm gives him a chance to win 36 37.

Outmatched, Ye Liang targets Tou’s jade pendant, then tears out the obsidian earring Mo Lu gave him and throws it into the woods. Tou responds with a savage beating that leaves Ye Liang unconscious and near death 37.

Mo Lu stops the bleeding and treats him in the Medicine Hall. His injuries include broken ribs, ruptured organs, brain damage, blindness, and severe cervical spinal damage. By dawn, Mo Lu saves his life but cannot repair the nerve damage, leaving him paralyzed 38 39.
