Many people first saw Sun Yi as the beautiful princess Mi Yao in the 2015 historical drama The Legend of Mi Yue (《芈月传》). Last year, she gained wide recognition for her leading role on the hit TV series Because of You (《因为遇见你》), in which she plays a talented embroidery apprentice (刺绣学徒). And last month, her new TV series All Out of Love (《凉生，我们可不可以不忧伤》) started airing. On this show, she plays Jiang Sheng, a seemingly normal but extraordinary woman who gets caught up in a love triangle (三角恋).
