As one of the A-listed Fadans in TVB, Myolie Wu's dramas in Mainland are mostly familiar within the audience, like War-of-in-laws, Triumph in the Skies, The Drive of Life etc. This time, she unprecedentedly took part in a Mainland TV series, but not as the main female lead, making the audience surprised as they tried to fight for more screentime for her. The scriptwriter, Yu Zheng, also revealed that due to Myolie Wu's schedule, thus he was unable to arrange more scenes for her. At the same time, he said that he admired Myolie Wu a lot, and he will definitely continue working with her.
In Beauty's Scheme, Myolie Wu acted as Lui Yue. In history, Lui Yue has no name, but her eternal romance with Lau Cheung had always been complimented by people. Lui Yue was born in a royal family, but because her mother was a concubine, thus when her father died, she was being chased out of the house. She and her mother, a gambling addict, depended on each other for a living. Empress Lui wanted to infiltrate deeply into the Lau royal family, thus she betrothed the daughters from the Lui family to the princes from the Lau family. Lui Yue was betrothed to Lau Cheung, but she won over true love. In addition, in the face of a righteous cause, she chose to stand by her husband. She had a significant contribution towards the final downfall of the Lui reign, thus the Han history was unable to erase her presence away. Moreover, Lau Cheung was devoted towards her, giving up his throne in exchange for her. Thus the couple was loving till the end.
It isn't the first time for Myolie Wu to act in an ancient drama. But it's her first time for an ancient drama using the Han dynasty as its background. In the drama, no matter whether it's the refreshing and subtle outfit, or the meticulously-designed palace clothes and newly-wed bride costume, when it's worn on Myolie Wu, they seemed to look as if they had been custom-made for her. Many audience have said that they haven't seen such a well-bred and quiet Myolie Wu before. At the same time, the romances in the entire Beauty's Scheme had been more melancholic, but for the couple, Lui Yue and Lau Cheung, acted by Myolie and Feng Shao Feng respectively, it was filled with warmth and blissfulness, helping the drama to add some romantic colors.
Though Myolie Wu did not have many scenes, she gave this Lui Yue character the special traits of simple-mindedness, strength and the openness to love and hate, and it was quite memorable to the audience. They also enjoyed the romance between Lau Cheung and Lui Yue. This drama has been receiving high ratings, while Myolie Wu's popularity in Mainland is starting to rise as well. It's believed that in future, the audience can continue to enjoy Myolie Wu's performance in more Mainland TV series.
