Ya Xi (upcoming) – A fresh blend of Republic-era murder mystery games and real-life romance, where her character Hu Xiu blurs the line between playacting and genuine emotions.
To Ship Someone (2022) – A unique story about a pessimistic novelist and an optimistic planner sucked into a fictional world, where Lu Yuxiao brings optimism and warmth as Song Yanqi.

Meanwhile, her confirmed upcoming projects include When I Meet the Moon with Lin Yi (currently filming, set in the same universe as Hidden Love and The First Frost), and Immortalis (planned for 2026, co-starring Chen Zheyuan).
