 * "Yes, so she is."
 * ―Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Dynasty Warriors
In Dynasty Warriors 4 and Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends, Yue Ying is introduced as the wife of strategist Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's Legend Mode depicts their first meeting; her father Huang Chenyan approaches Zhuge Liang in believing he would be a good match for his daughter. Zhuge Liang, learning of her genius, agrees and is subsequently brought to Yue Ying to be tested by her in battle. During the battle, Zhuge Liang defeats other would-be-suitors (noting the chauvinistic attitude they have towards her) and Yue Ying herself. After the battle, Yue Ying notes her loss and submits - however, Zhuge Liang notes that he would rather be with a partner and equal than a servant.

Yue Ying's own Legend mode depicts her contributing to Shu outside of her husband; by creating a fearsome tank known as the Juggernaut. In order to test the effectiveness of the Juggernaut, Yue Ying & a unit of the Juggernauts duel against the Five Tiger Generals of Shu. The Five Tiger Generals are defeated due to her her ingenuity, and Yue Ying succeeds in both contributing to Shu and creating a legacy of her own.

In Dynasty Warriors 5, Yue Ying particpates in various battles and plays major roles in the Nanman Campaign and the Battle of Wu Zhang Plains. In the Nanman Campaign Yue Ying opposes the beast units with her new invention, the Juggernaut. In Tian Shui, she personally tests and confirms Zhuge Liang's suspicions concerning Jiang Wei's greatness. In Wu Zhang, she opposes the enemy front lines with her wooden oxen and is key in securing the supply line. Her story mode also explores her marriage to Zhuge Liang. Her in-story monologue explains that although she may have been unattractive, Zhuge Liang chose her as a wife due to her well-known intelligence. In her epilogue, it is explained that before her marriage to Zhuge Liang, it is noted that she was adept at putting on puppet shows (with wooden puppets that appeared so lifelike, one couldn't tell the difference between the puppet and a person). In her ending, Zhuge Liang lives (unlike her husband's own ending, and Jiang Wei's).

Yue Ying has a minor role in Dynasty Warriors 6 as she participates in a small number of battles (most notably, Han Zhong & Wu Zhang Plains).

She is one of the six characters to receiver a full story in Dynasty Warriors 6: Special. Yue Ying and her father, Huang Chenyan, noticed Liu Bei struggling to escape the Wei forces at Chang Ban. Yue Ying herself volunteers to aid in their escape (at the behest of her father, whom told her she may 'find something there'); her personal reason being stated that 'she simply did what she thought was right'. After the battle, she speaks with Zhuge Liang about what sort of world Liu Bei wishes to create and leaves after (what with her personal obligation being fulfilled).

At Chi Bi, she was wedded to Zhuge Liang via arranged marriage (explaining to him that while it was her father's desicion, she had little to no objection with it). Zhuge Liang explains his own personal goals (to take the brunt of the moral criticism Liu Bei may receive in creating his world), and she asks him to share that burden with her. In subsequent battles, the couple become closer and more intimate (with Zhuge Liang awkwardly praising her genius and skill and battle; and her inventing new machinery to help him and Shu).

In her ending, Zhuge Liang notes that he wishes he could have done more. Yue Ying corrects him, noting that he has done more than enough for this world and now it is time for him to rest. Zhuge Liang notes that he believed the two of them were fated together from their first meeting.

Warriors Orochi
Yue Ying is transported to the new world alongside the rest of Shu, and escapes Orochi's clutches when he attacks Cheng Du. She subsequently joins the resistance movement with Ma Chao, Jiang Wei and Ranmaru Mori, but is captured a short time after a battle they have with the blackmailed Wu and Tokugawa forces.

Zhao Yun (whom himself had escaped captivity with the help of Xing Cai & Yoshihiro Shimazu and was looking for Liu Bei) and company come across Yue Ying being transported across Hasedo and agree to rescue her. During their rescue, they come across Magoichi Saika who is also attempting to rescue Yue Ying (whom he refers to as 'legendary'). Zhao Yun & co. and Magoichi agree to work together, and they free Yue Ying. However, before they escape unscathed, Zhuge Liang appears and attempts to stop them with force. He explains to them all that he has decided to willingly serve Orochi, before being forced away.

Yue Ying then participates in the majority of the campaigns & searches they conduct afterward. At Cheng Du, she encounters Da Ji (whom mocks her for a perceived lack of will without Zhuge Liang, to which Yue Ying becomes more enraged than ever). At Wu Territory, she encounters her husband again, questioning his motives. At Edo Castle, she encounters Zhuge Liang again and defeats him with her allies to which she learns this was a plot to discover Liu Bei's location. After this and in combination with other events, Liu Bei is saved and Orochi is defeated.

After Da Ji is found attempting to resurrect Orochi, her and Zhuge Liang stay in Shu in order to defend it. However, while Taigong Wang and Lu Xun chase a fleeing Da Ji at Odani Castle, Yue Ying & Zhuge Liang appear in order to capture both Da Ji and a fleeing Himiko. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, the couple agree to help with the front line of the campaign. While attempting to stop the ressurection of Orochi at Koshi Castle, Yue Ying taunts Da Ji (noting that none of Da Ji's plans have fooled Zhuge Liang). At Wu Zhang Plains, Yue Ying chastizes Masamune Date for blindly supporting Orochi.

Kessen
Unlike the serious and mature Dynasty Warriors incarnation, Huang Yue Ying is Zhuge Liang's peppy and upbeat wife in Kessen II. Although she never personally takes to the field, she is often presenting several inventions for Liu Bei's consideration. She dances, poses, and practically sings whilst she talks which sometimes embarrasses her husband. She usually ends her sentence with "yeah".

Personality
Yue Ying is a mature and collected individual. Intelligent and elegant, she appreciates the value of patience and planning. Though their marriage was arranged, she genuinely loves her husband and will do everything in her power to help shoulder his burden. To her friends and loved ones, she is quite generous and can be quite nurturing to younger people.

Despite her composure, Yue Ying has been shown to be quite sarcastic at times and will openly chastise those whom act selfishly or insensitively. She also has little patience for those whom underestimate her, and chauvinistic attitudes in general. Yue Ying takes great pride in her skills and learned abilities.

Appearance
Initially, Yue Ying is depicted as beautiful yet relatively bland compared to other female characters. She was dressed in conservative and fully clothed outfits that only revealed her hands and face. Her hair was tied back and kept hidden underneath a simple headdress. This design more than likely alludes to the fact that Zhuge Liang married her for her brains and not necessarily due to her beauty.

Her redesign in Dynasty Warriors 6 is noticeably more bold than her previous appearances. Her hair is tinted red and kept loose. Her outfit shares the same color motif as her husband and leaves her upper thighs bare. She wears green knee high, heeled boots and black gloves that leaves some of her fingers uncovered. Her new appearance is visually in tune with her new moveset, which requires ease of movement and offensive armor.
