Background / History

Marriage and daughters

Zheng Minhong pursued Wang Ning while they were at school, where he was widely regarded as a heartthrob. She later cited her success as encouragement for Zheng Yanxi to take the initiative with Chen Ze 11.

When Yanxi was fifteen, her parents arranged a marriage for her, choosing her over Yanxin because of the older twin’s volatile temper. Yanxin severely beat the prospective fiancé, causing his family to withdraw from the arrangement. With the sisters subsequently fighting every day, their parents separated them: Yanxi went to school in Hangcheng, while Yanxin studied in the Demon Capital 21.

Collaboration with Chen Ze

Although Zheng Minhong’s company operated across several countries, it had experienced years of stagnation and signs of decline. After Yanxi showed her Chen Ze’s qipao drawing, Minhong was astonished by the unfamiliar design and personally made a prototype at a factory supervised by Factory Director Wu 10.

She invited Chen Ze to inspect the emerald-green silk qipao, with Yanxi modeling it. Minhong agreed with his proposed adjustments and asked about adapting the garment for men. She also recognized a commercial limitation: the qipao particularly suited wearers with good figures 10.

Proposal / Transaction Terms and outcome
Qipao design Offered Chen Ze 100,000 yuan for the idea 10.
Additional clothing designs Offered 100,000 yuan per satisfactory design, transferring payment as each drawing was completed 10.
Design session Acquired more than a dozen historical-style designs; Chen Ze’s total earnings exceeded 1.2 million yuan 10.
Honorary fashion designer position Offered 20,000 yuan per month, with no regular attendance requirement and designs requested only when inspiration struck. Chen Ze declined 11.

Minhong considered the new designs immensely valuable to her struggling company. Feeling that she had paid too little for them, she offered the honorary position partly to compensate Chen Ze more fairly. After his refusal, she instructed Factory Director Wu to take him home 10 11.

Welcoming Chen Ze

Minhong encouraged Yanxi to pursue Chen Ze, praising his talent and unusual maturity. When Yanxi later brought him to the family villa in the Capital, Minhong welcomed him alongside Wang Ning, who had already heard about him from her 11 21.

Confrontation over Zheng Yanxin

Minhong was measuring a men’s qipao when Yanxi burst into her office seeking help after Yanxin assaulted Chen Ze. Initially reprimanding Yanxi for rushing in, she became furious upon hearing the explanation, called Chen Ze her “dear son-in-law,” and immediately summoned Yanxin 48 49.

She ordered Yanxin to kneel, demanded an explanation, and struck her with a ruler when she refused to answer. Yanxin’s declaration of romantic love for her own sister left Minhong stunned. After the twins began fighting, Wang Ning prompted her to help, and the parents eventually pulled them apart 49.

Minhong firmly rejected Yanxin’s wish to marry Yanxi, citing their sibling relationship and the disgrace it would bring. She also condemned Yanxin’s repeated attacks on Yanxi’s partners. The confrontation remained unresolved when Yanxin threatened to beat every man Yanxi found, provoking another fight 49.

Personality

Minhong combines enthusiasm for new clothing ideas with practical commercial judgment. She quickly recognizes Chen Ze’s creative value, pays him promptly, and identifies both the appeal and limitations of the qipao. Her concern that she has underpaid him also motivates an additional employment offer 10 11.

She admires restraint as well as talent, interpreting Chen Ze’s decision to stop drawing as evidence that he knows when to advance and retreat. With her daughters, she is more forceful: she urges Yanxi to pursue romance boldly, expects composed behavior, and reacts angrily to Yanxin’s violence against Chen Ze 11 48 49.

Relationships

  • Wang Ning — Husband and former school heartthrob whom she successfully pursued; they jointly intervene in their daughters’ fighting 11 49.
  • Zheng Yanxi — Younger twin daughter. Minhong supports her relationship with Chen Ze and promises to act when Yanxin attacks him 11 49.
  • Zheng Yanxin — Older twin daughter. Minhong disciplines her for assaulting Chen Ze and categorically rejects her proposed marriage to Yanxi 21 49.
  • Chen Ze — Clothing-design collaborator and Yanxi’s partner. Minhong regards him highly enough to offer an honorary position and affectionately call him her son-in-law 10 11 49.
  • Factory Director Wu — Director of the factory where the qipao prototype is inspected; Minhong entrusts Wu with seeing Chen Ze home 10 11.
