Zhao Lusi Talks About Her Chemistry with William Chan in “Love’s Ambition” — A Global Hit That Showcases Her Emotional Depth

 Zhao Lusi continues to shine in the spotlight with her outstanding performance in the hit drama Love’s Ambition, where she stars alongside William Chan. Despite the absence of large-scale promotions, the series has become a massive success, even topping Netflix’s global charts in the Asian category — a clear reflection of its powerful storytelling and stellar performances.

In the series, Zhao Lusi portrays Xu Yan, a woman caught in the emotional turbulence of a failing marriage, torn between heartbreak and self-discovery. Her portrayal of vulnerability, strength, and emotional conflict — especially during the intense divorce scenes — has earned widespread critical acclaim, with many fans calling it her most mature and captivating performance yet.


In a recent interview, Zhao Lusi shared her thoughts about working with William Chan, expressing both joy and gratitude for their on-screen partnership. Having previously collaborated in Fairy Tale, the two already shared a sense of familiarity. However, Zhao Lusi admitted that she initially felt shy when she had to call William “husband” during filming. “It was a bit awkward at first,” she laughed, “but as we got into character, everything started to flow naturally.”

William Chan, in turn, praised Zhao Lusi’s dedication and professionalism, noting how deeply she immerses herself in every role. “She’s one of the most hardworking and focused actresses I’ve worked with,” he said. “Her ability to stay calm under pressure and bring emotional authenticity to every scene is truly admirable.”

Adding to her artistic involvement, Zhao Lusi personally helped design her character’s wardrobe and makeup, aiming to present a realistic and emotionally resonant image of Xu Yan. She even declined several other projects to dedicate her full attention to Love’s Ambition.

That decision has clearly paid off — Love’s Ambition is not only a domestic success but also an international favorite, solidifying Zhao Lusi’s reputation as one of the most talented and influential actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry. 🌟

Her chemistry with William Chan, combined with her emotional depth and attention to detail, continues to captivate audiences worldwide — proving that true artistry shines brightest when passion meets purpose.
