Early life

[edit]

Xiang was born in 1999 in Taiwan.[1] She attended a vocational high school, where she studied early childcare.[2] She described herself as "shy" during her childhood and did not have a particular interest in acting until she coincidentally joined an audition, which inspired her to pursue a career as an actress.[3][4] At the age of 16, she auditioned for Giddens Ko's 2017 horror comedy film Mon Mon Mon Monsters, but did not secure a role.[4] She continued her studies at the University of Kang Ning, majoring in early childhood care and education, and graduated with a Bachelor of Education in 2019.[5][6] During university years, she became determined to pursue acting and took on multiple part-time jobs to save money for future auditions.[4][2]

Career

In 2022, Xiang played Wilson, a rookie cop, alongside Janine Chang and Ethan Juan in the crime thriller film The Abandoned.[13] She also gained recognition for her breakout role as Da Shi Yao Ji in the Netflix drama series Mom, Don't Do That!.[14] She was named Top Talent by Taipei Film Festival in the same year.[15] The following year, she starred as Dr. Li Xinyan, an empathic surgical intern during the SARS outbreak, in the medical drama film Eye of the Storm [zh].[16] She also took on another main role as Chuang Ying-wen in the SET television series Lovely Villain [zh] that same year.[17]

In 2024, Xiang starred in Liao Ming-yi's experimental romance film Suffocating Love, which was entirely filmed with an iPhone.[18] This performance earned her a nomination for Best Actress in the 26th Taipei Film Awards.[19] She also appeared in the drama film The Uniform, alongside Buffy Chen, which premiered at the Busan International Film Festival that year.[20]
