The eldest brother of Ye Yunmian and Ye Weiqing, the current inheritor of the Duke title. He is described as increasingly violent, practically a madman who has been reprimanded by the Emperor several times. Rumor has it that even as a child he drove away his own younger brother who then vanished without a trace. He often beats Ye Weiqing until bloodied. He is said to be cruel and indifferent to family ties.
