During a live session on Weibo on Sunday, Ye addressed fans’ concerns about her altered appearance in social media images. She explained that she often resorted to editing her pictures, especially when feeling stressed, though her limited skills resulted in distorted images, making her look “grotesque” at times. Despite this, Ye stated she had no regrets about her past choices.

Her candid confession attracted attention, as it’s rare for celebrities to openly acknowledge photo editing or cosmetic surgery. Ye also revealed she had undergone cosmetic procedures on about 40% of her body.

According to Now NewsYe participated in a “Trophy Wife Training Camp” in China, designed to help women attract wealthy husbands or boyfriends. The camp offers attendees luxury clothing, accessories, and supercars for photoshoots to create a high-class image, while also providing opportunities to connect with affluent individuals.

At 32, Ye now manages a business in beauty and fashion, frequently livestreaming product sales and modeling her own designs. She was divorced four years ago, and her two children are under her ex-husband’s care.

Huang and Ye publicly announced their relationship on Sept. 19, after a year of dating. Huang was previously married to actress Angelababy, with whom he shares a son who lives with his mother in Shanghai but occasionally visits his paternal grandparents.
