Overseasidol.com — The urban romance drama “Love’s Ambition”, starring Zhao Lusi and William Chan, has been climbing in popularity since its premiere.
By October 3, the show’s daily views on Tencent were estimated at 85 to 90 million, with on-demand viewing making up 98%.
It has become a dark horse drama, drawing massive attention across platforms.
Among the breakout names is Hong Kong’s rising actress Zhong Yating. She plays Fang Lei, the rival to Zhao Lusi’s character Xu Yan.
Unlike the typical “green tea” archetype, Fang Lei is portrayed as bold, arrogant, and direct.
Her performance breaks stereotypes and creates fresh chemistry with both Zhao Lusi and William Chan.
Zhong Yating’s acting has impressed viewers with its sharp contrast to her past image.
Previously known for her fresh and elegant aura, she now convincingly portrays a wild, spoiled rich girl willing to go to extremes for love.
From seductive appearances in swimwear to desperate threats of self-harm, Fang Lei’s reckless pursuit of Shen Haoming adds tension and keeps audiences hooked.
Before entering the industry in 2021, Zhong Yating worked as a part-time model thanks to her striking looks and figure.
She gained attention in short dramas like Si Shi Hao and Goodbye My Old Self, where she played memorable roles.
She also once performed on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala, showcasing her versatility.
Now signed under Emperor Entertainment alongside William Chan, Zhong Yating is quickly becoming one of the most promising young actresses.
With her standout role in Shining For One Thing, she has proven that even the “love rival” can steal the spotlight.
