Yu Yiyang is Lu Yanzhi's childhood friend and the current head of his family business, which he has successfully revitalized. He is portrayed as somewhat careless in relationships, having been broken up with by his girlfriend of several years, Xu Qin, who called him a Rotten playboy and stated she no longer wants him. He claims his recent interactions with other women were family business necessities, including accompanying the Zhou family's young miss shopping at his father's request. He envies Lu Yanzhi's seemingly perfect relationships, remarking on how Shi Nian loved Lu Yanzhi deeply and was willing to risk her life for him. He is shocked and confused by the news of Lu Yanzhi and Shi Nian's divorce, unable to reconcile it with his memory of their strong relationship.
