Biography[edit]

Yao was born on February 25, 1986, in Taitung City, Taiwan.[1] Her father is an Amis native.[2] She attended and graduated from the Department of Ball Sports at Taipei Physical Education College, specializing in handball.[3][4] Yao was elected as a reserve member of the national team and participated in several Asian tournaments.[3][1] She was discovered by an agent, who was seeking new actors with a unique vibe, while playing basketball at TPEC in her freshman year.[3] Yao began her acting career in 2006 while continuing her training as a handball player, initially considering acting as a hobby.[3] She landed a major role in the 2007 Chinese Television System television series Daughter of the Sun [zh].[5] She became tired of the monotonous routine of sports training and developed a passion for performance, leading her to quit her athletic career and pursue acting when she was 20.[1][4]

In 2014, Yao made her feature film debut as Chiao Chien-wei, a coolheaded military pilot, in the war film Dream Flight [zh].[6] She subsequently starred in leading roles in the 2015 television series Leo [zh] and the 2016 television movie The Cat in the Closet [zh].[7][8] Yao was also invited to star in the Japanese crime film Mr. Long alongside Chang Chen in 2016,[9] an experience that deeply impacted her emotionally, as she found it challenging to detach from her character's emotions even two months after filming had ended.[3] In 2018, Yao co-starred with Wu Kang-ren in the mystery film High Flash [zh],[10] and took on a leading role in the 2019 sci-fi thriller series Code 2 [zh].[11]

In 2019, Yao garnered recognition for her performance in dual roles as Shanny, the spouse of a crime lord, and Hsiao Ching, an eccentric drag queen, in the black comedy film The Gangs, the Oscars, and the Walking Dead [zh].[12][13] She won Best Supporting Actress in the 22nd Taipei Film Awards,[14] and received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the 56th Golden Horse Awards with her roles.[15] She also appeared in the 2019 drama series Yong-Jiu Grocery Store,[16] and took on a leading role in the 2020 drama series Amensalism [zh].[17] In 2021, Yao starred as Cindy Yu, a photographer engaged in a romantic relationship with a dentist played by Figaro Tseng, in the Netflix romance series More Than Blue: The Series.[18] Her performance earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film in the 57th Golden Bell Awards.[19] In 2022, Yao portrayed a Shenyang-based crime lord in the Korean action film Yaksha: Ruthless Operations.[20] She also starred in the sci-fi film S–Girl [zh], playing dual roles as a deceased mother and her AI clone,[21] and took on triple roles in the anthology drama series Twisted Strings [zh].[22] In 2023, Yao landed a leading role in the drama series Trick or Love [zh].[23]
