Ye Wenjie: Daughter of physicist Ye Zhetai. Her father insisted on refusing to succumb to irrational fanaticism and was criticized to death. Her tragic experience in that extreme era made her kind and gentle lose confidence in human nature. Because of her extraordinary achievements in astrophysics, she can contact with another kind of life in outer space. She sent a signal to the trio with cold reason and led it to the earth. The original intention is to use the power of aliens to guide the better development of mankind.

While rationally thinking about the essence of human nature, she has been criticizing her own morality, but her short-lived vacillation was quickly dispelled by the ugliness of people she saw. Her rational thinking on the evil side of human nature plunged her into a deep spiritual crisis, which made her become the leader of the earth's three-body organization. (Dark Forest) Based on her half-life efforts, she summed up the axioms of the sociology of the universe, and put forward two important concepts, the chain of doubt and the technological explosion, which inspired Luo Ji to discover the mystery of the universe.
