Bai Lu, whose real name is Bai Mengyan, was born on September 23, 1994, in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. She is a Chinese actress, model, and singer who has been gaining increasing recognition in the Chinese entertainment industry. Bai Lu’s biography attracts a lot of attention from fans, especially as she continues to make her mark through a series of successful Chinese drama series.
From the age of 13–14, Bai Lu developed a strong interest in television dramas, particularly Korean dramas. In 2012, she and her mother traveled to Shanghai to audition for SM Entertainment’s trainee program but was not selected. After that unsuccessful attempt, she shifted to working as a Taobao model, a move that helped her enter the entertainment world by showcasing her striking appearance and expressive abilities in front of the camera.
Beyond her looks, Bai Lu taught herself Korean and is fluent in both Mandarin and her local dialect. In 2016, she signed with Huanyu Film, a company led by renowned producer Yu Zheng, officially beginning her journey as a professional actress.
Her breakout role came with The Legends, in which she played the lead character Lu Zhaoyao. This role marked a turning point in her career. The character was widely discussed on platforms like Douban and TikTok, praised for being bold and unconventional compared to the typical soft and gentle female leads in xianxia dramas. Thanks to this, the name Bai Lu The Legends quickly gained traction across social media and fan communities.
She continued to strengthen her reputation with the role of Chu Nian in One and Only, a tragic love story brought to life through her restrained performance and sorrowful gaze. In contrast to her decisive and otherworldly image in Till the End of the Moon, her acting in One and Only demonstrated a broad emotional range. Audiences on platforms like Bilibili, Douban, and Zhihu praised her ability to convey emotion through her eyes and body language—especially in scenes with minimal dialogue—a skill that sets her apart from many other Chinese actresses.
In addition to acting, Bai Lu has lent her voice to several Chinese drama soundtracks, including The King Is Not Easy and The Little One’s Order. Although not a professional singer, Bai Lu’s singing voice is noted for being clear, pleasant, and emotionally aligned with the tone of the story. Her singing isn’t technically complex, but it reflects the character’s feelings and the film’s atmosphere, which is rare for non-professional singers in acting roles.
As of now, Bai Lu’s Weibo account has amassed over 27 million followers—a testament to her popularity and influence among the younger generation in China. Alongside her entertainment career, Bai Lu is also a sought-after name in the world of branding and fashion. She serves as the global ambassador for iQiyi, Asia-Pacific ambassador for Jimmy Choo (Summer 2025 Curve bag campaign), and represents the high-end Portraits of Nature collection by De Beers. She has also collaborated with major fashion and beauty brands such as Michael Kors, Olay, and Sergio Rossi, presenting an image that is elegant, youthful, and modern—fitting the profile of a prominent Gen Z Chinese celebrity.
