Zhao Lusi is serving fashion Queen energy in Loves Ambition

During a livestream last year, Lusi opened up about the lengths she went to fully bring her character, Xu Yan to life. She didn’t just lose 6 kg for the role, she completely transformed her look, from makeup and hairstyle to wardrobe. She even changed her eyebrow shape, a feature she had kept for nearly two decades.

Since filming for Love's Ambition began, Lusi has been trending on Weibo, with fans raving about her beauty and her stunning presence in all those elaborate costumes and intricate designs. So far, in the episodes released and in the stills shared from the set, she’s been seen wearing top-tier fashion brands like Versace, Bottega Veneta, Roger Vivier, Ralph Lauren, Hermès, Jimmy Choo, and more.

In the upcoming wedding scene, she’s said to shine as a radiant, beautiful bride in a couture IVAN YONG gown. Fans have even dubbed the series a “Fashion Textbook,” noting how Lusi’s luxurious wardrobe perfectly highlights her character’s high-profile, elite status in the drama.

Synopsis 🌷

Mai Cheng Huan, a girl born into an ordinary family in Shanghai in the 1990s, is urged by her mother, Liu Wan Yu, to discuss marriage with her boyfriend, Xin Jia Liang. However, the affluent economic conditions of Xin's family upset the originally equal emotional relationship. At the same time, Mai's mother's excessive interference in her daughter's lifelong affairs accelerates the breakup between Mai Cheng Huan and Xin Jia Liang.

Caught between filial piety and loyalty to oneself, Mai Cheng Huan struggles. She gradually breaks free from her mother's dominant care and becomes more focused and enterprising in her work. Mai Cheng Huan's transformation is recognized by her grandmother, who entrusts her with the important responsibility of managing the family's most valued hotel business.

Yao Zhi Ming, the grandson of the grandmother and a professional hotel manager, gradually understands and approves of Mai Cheng Huan in their cooperation. They become work partners, advancing hand in hand. In their personal lives, Yao Zhi Ming is surrounded by the warmth beneath the fireworks of the Mai family, and his feelings for Mai Cheng Huan gradually heat up. From "beneath Cheng Huan's knees" to "achieving self," Mai Cheng Huan has embarked on an extraordinary journey of growth that is uniquely her own.
