Ye Ke is quickly becoming a prominent figure in the livestreaming sales arena, according to Jimu News on 1/8. On the evening of 29/7, her 3-hour livestream attracted over 3.7 million viewers and generated 7.5 million CNY (27.3 billion VND), securing her the sixth spot on the daily hot livestreamer rankings. Notably, one of the featured bath products alone achieved sales exceeding 1 million CNY.
Her return to social media surprised many. Last year, Ye Ke faced significant backlash due to her relationship with Huang Xiaoming. In November of the same year, she announced her departure from social media to "return to a quiet life and avoid negatively impacting loved ones".

Explaining her unexpected return, Ye Ke stated her need to earn a living. "I believe everyone needs to work and engage professionally. There's no shame in earning money. As long as you're working and not relying on others financially, whatever you do is right," she said.
Ye Ke avoided questions about Huang Xiaoming. Many observers noted her more mature demeanor, refraining from past controversial statements. Previously an advocate for cosmetic surgery, she now advises against extravagant spending on beauty treatments, emphasizing saving for the future.
Huang Xiaoming publicly acknowledged his relationship with Ye Ke in September 2024, a move met with disapproval from many fans. Some criticized her as "fake and annoying" during livestreams. Past remarks resurfaced and became the subject of ridicule, including her statement, "I haven't had much cosmetic work done, just a little, about 40%". This quote now circulates among Chinese youth, often used humorously.

At a promotional event for the film "The Man with the Wig" late last year, Huang Xiaoming expressed sadness over the online negativity surrounding his relationship and promised to "resolve personal matters appropriately". Since then, both he and Ye Ke have remained silent about their relationship. According to Sohu, Ye Ke has given birth to Huang’s child.
Ye Ke has been married previously and has two children. Huang Xiaoming also has a son with actress Angelababy, whom he divorced in 2022. He is a leading actor in China, known for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" (2006), "New Shanghai Bund", and "Winter Begonia".
