"Yang Mi"

Yang Mi (born September 12, 1986) is a Chinese actress and singer. She is noted for her roles as Guo Xiang and Tang Xuejian respectively in the television series The Return of the Condor Heroes (2006) and Chinese Paladin 3 (2009). She has now gained even greater popularity from her breakthrough role as Luo Qingchuan in Palace (2011). Yang is also a student in Beijing Film Academy's Performance Institute.

Yang began acting at the age of four. She played a minor role as Beggar So's daughter in King of Beggars (1992), which starred Stephen Chow as the titular character. In the late 2000s, Yang rose to fame for her roles in television series such as The Return of the Condor Heroes (2006) and Chinese Paladin 3 (2009). Her popularity increased after she starred as Luo Qingchuan in Palace (2011).

Her increase in popularity from her performance in Palace helped land her a role in Painted Skin: The Resurrection, a sequel to Gordon Chan's 2008 film Painted Skin. In 2010 she participated in Empires of the Deep, a Chinese-American co-produced film with a budget of US$100 million. In 2011, Mei Ah Entertainment announced that it will be producing four tailored-made films (Great Wudang, Chinese Princess Turandot, Windseeker, and Butterfly Cemetery) for Yang with a total investment of 300 million yuan for the four films due to the box office success of the horror film Mysterious Island (2011), which starred Yang. In 2012 Yang stated that she will be producing for the first time in her career, and her project will be a Chinese version of the American television series Gossip Girl, with Chinese Girl as a possible working title.

In early 2012 Yang revealed that she is in a relationship with actor and singer Hawick Lau.
