Ye Ruyue is Ye Siran's stepsister, the daughter of Ye Siran's mother and her stepfather. She is smart, scheming, and ruthless, described as expected of a capitalist's daughter. As a child, she was raised to be adorable and charming to all. She dreamed of marrying He Hongwen from the He family, a high-status household. When she learned that He Hongwen wanted to break off his engagement with Ye Siran, she devised a plan to drug him and lock him with Ye Siran, ensuring everyone would see them together and force the marriage. Her real motive was to secure Ye Siran's university admission to the University of Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers, which would allow her to improve her social status and avoid becoming a textile worker. In her past life, she succeeded and lived happily with He Hongwen, who favored her for thirty years. She even participated in swapping the children, giving her daughter to Ye Siran while taking Ye Siran's son. She is manipulative and calculating, always putting her own interests first, and never expected Ye Siran to outsmart her.
