Among her projects in 2017 were director Guan Hu's adaptation of Ghost Blows Out the Light book series, The Weasel Grave;[6] big budget fantasy ;[7] and youth musical film Our Shining Days,[8] which she was awarded for at the Shanghai International Film Festival.[9]

One of her works in 2019 is period piece Spy Hunter by the acclaimed director-writer duo Li Lu (In the Name of People) and Zhang Yong (The Disguiser).[10] For historical series The Longest Day in Chang'an, she has joined the list of actresses who have portrayed Yang Guifei, a famous historical figure and one of the Four Beauties of ancient China.[11]
