When actress He Shiyu first appeared in short video clips, many were struck by her natural beauty. But behind the visuals, what kind of person is she—and where is her career headed?
A Promising Newcomer with a Grounded Personality
Born in 2002, He Shiyu is a graduate of the Shanghai University – Shanghai Film Academy, majoring in Acting. Despite being a newcomer, she has already built a reputation for her professionalism. On set, she treats both colleagues and crew with respect, without putting on airs. While she maintains friendly working relationships, she doesn’t actively cultivate close circles within the industry, preferring to keep things professional.
Overcoming Challenges and Gaining Fans
Earlier, she faced false rumors spread by Yu Wai. Surprisingly, the controversy barely dented her image—instead, it drew new supporters, especially those critical of Yu Wai. For a rising actress, this resilience has only strengthened her standing among viewers.
A Strong Debut with 《山花烂漫时》
He Shiyu’s career began with remarkable momentum. Her debut was last year’s domestic drama 《山花烂漫时》, which topped Douban ratings for the year. The drama not only showcased her acting but also placed her alongside established stars. She even walked the red carpet at the prestigious Starlight Awards with the cast, standing next to lead actress Song Jia—a moment that marked her arrival in the public eye.
Next Step: 《天才女友》
Most recently, leaked set photos confirmed He Shiyu’s role in 《天才女友》, effectively securing her position as the second female lead. Interestingly, netizens noted that this isn’t the first time she’s stepped in as a replacement for a role, sparking curiosity about her ability to turn such opportunities into breakthroughs.
Looking Ahead
From her grounded personality to a strong debut and rising opportunities, He Shiyu is carving out a promising path in the entertainment industry. While still early in her career, she’s proving that talent and professionalism may matter more than industry gossip.
