Cast & Character List
Yao Chen as Qiao Yang
Let’s talk about the ultimate workplace glow-down. Dr. Qiao Yang – genius Craniofacial Surgery rockstar, Deputy Chief Surgeon, and certified brainiac – just got banished to the hospital’s equivalent of Siberia: the Hair Restoration Department. Why? Because this brilliant doc refused to play "medical ethics limbo" with hospital higher-ups. (Spoiler: She won’t bend backwards for anyone’s shady agenda.)
But don’t mistake those hair transplant tweezers for a demotion. Qiao Yang’s bringing her scalpel-sharp wit and "heal souls first, bodies second" philosophy to her new gig. While others see hair plugs, she sees redemption arcs – like rebuilding confidence for facial tumor survivors or giving burn victims their smiles back. This is the kind of doctor who’ll fight hospital bureaucracy mid-surgery if it means doing right by her patients.
Yao Chen absolutely nails this role, serving equal parts surgical genius, rulebook-flipping rebel, and that one friend who’d help you hide a body (metaphorically… probably). Moral of the story? Never underestimate a woman who can reconstruct your face and your self-esteem before lunch.
Jia Jingwen as Zhou Jingwen
Let me introduce you to the fiercest scalpel-wielder in Fight for Beauty – Zhou Jingwen, played by the iconic Jia Jingwen. This German-trained plastic surgery prodigy (yes, she’s got that über-precise European technique) co-founded the swanky Gemu Cosmetic Hospital with her husband Qin Gui. But don’t let her sleek lab coat fool you – she’s battling more than just asymmetrical nose jobs these days.
Nicknamed the "Cosmetic Surgery Queen," Zhou built an empire on transforming faces… until her throne started cracking. Turns out, running a high-end beauty biz in cutthroat Shanghai isn’t all champagne and collagen injections. Watch as this bold, razor-sharp visionary gets squeezed between her perfectionist ideals and the cold, hard fist of corporate investors. (Spoiler alert: capitalism doesn’t care about your artistic vision for cheekbone augmentation.)
The real plot twist? Her partnership/enemy-ship with rival surgeon Qiao Yang. These two started as bitter opponents – think The Devil Wears Prada meets Grey’s Anatomy in an OR – but financial wildfires make strange bedfellows. Their grudging alliance serves equal parts scalding burns and reluctant respect.
Pro tip: Keep your eyes on Zhou’s wardrobe. Those power suits aren’t just fashion statements – they’re armor against a world trying to dull her shine. Will she bend to the system or reinvent the rules? Grab your popcorn (and maybe a stress ball) for this beauty-industry showdown.
Hou Wenyuan as Lu Ziyou
Let's talk about the walking contradiction that is Dr. Lu Ziyou (Hou Wenyuan) - the "Clock-Out King" of Gemu Hospital who somehow still manages to be their secret weapon. This guy runs on a strict "no overtime" policy that would make French labor unions proud, yet he's the first person surgeons beg to assist on tricky cases.
By day, you'll find this 30-something attending physician speed-walking out the door at 5:01 PM sharp with all the determination of someone racing to a Taylor Swift ticket drop. But here's the kicker - his "work smarter, not harder" philosophy actually works. While other residents are drowning in paperwork, Ziyou's over here curing rare disorders between sips of jasmine tea like some medical Sherlock Holmes.
The man's got style rules tighter than his work schedule:
1️⃣ White coat? Crisp.
2️⃣ Surgical mask? Artfully askew.
3️⃣ Stethoscope? Draped like a runway accessory.
But don't let the chill vibes fool you - when ER chaos hits, Dr. Lu transforms into a diagnostic machine. Colleagues whisper that he secretly practices medicine in his sleep (rumor has it he once prescribed the correct antibiotic dosage while sleep-texting).
Hou Wenyuan plays this enigma with just enough cocky charm to make you root for the guy who breaks every TV doctor stereotype. He's not here for dramatic all-nighters or steamy supply closet hookups - just pure, efficient medical genius served with a side of punctuality.
Yuan Hong as Qin Gui
Let's talk about the human tornado that is Qin Gui (played by Yuan Hong) in Fight for Beauty - because who needs villains when you've got self-sabotaging heroes?
As co-founder of a cutting-edge hospital, this guy's resume screams "successful visionary." His LinkedIn? Flawless. His ability to adult in his personal life? Well... let's just say his emotional IQ makes a burnt toast look sophisticated. Yuan Hong delivers a masterclass in portraying a man who's equal parts magnetic and infuriating - the kind of character you'd side-eye at a dinner party but can't stop watching on screen.
Here's the tea: Qin Gui's "brilliant" decisions at work keep triggering domino effects that would give a chess grandmaster anxiety. Meanwhile, his marriage resembles a Jenga tower during an earthquake. The genius twist? You'll catch yourself screaming "NO DON'T DO IT!" at your TV... right before he does it anyway.
Yuan Hong's performance is all subtle smirks and loaded silences - you'll simultaneously want to give this man a therapy voucher and steal his business strategies. Pro tip: Keep popcorn handy for when his professional swagger collides with his personal dumpster fires.
Dai Lele as Li Qi
Let me introduce you to Fight for Beauty's ultimate moral paradox – Li Qi (played by the brilliant Dai Lele), a hospital administrator who navigates boardrooms like a CEO and ethical dilemmas like a guilt-ridden philosopher. Picture this: She’s the kind of woman who could negotiate a million-dollar MRI deal before breakfast, then spend her lunch break agonizing over whether her hospital’s profit margins are literally costing lives.
Li Qi doesn’t just climb the corporate ladder – she redesigns it with cutthroat strategies sharpened to surgical precision. Need to slash budgets without triggering a staff revolt? She’ll do it with a smile that’s equal parts honey and hydrochloric acid. But here’s the kicker: Her spreadsheets keep getting haunted by that pesky little thing called conscience.
What makes Li Qi so fascinating isn’t her power suits or her talent for crushing rivals (though both are Olympic-level). It’s her daily tightrope walk between Wall Street ruthlessness and Doctors Without Borders idealism. Every decision feels like open-heart surgery – should she follow the money trail or the Hippocratic Oath? The show never serves easy answers, but damn, does it make you rethink that $50 aspirin your insurance refused to cover.
Dai Lele brings razor-sharp nuance to this role, making you root for Li Qi even when you’re side-eyeing her choices. Through her, Fight for Beauty holds up a mirror to healthcare’s ugliest open secret: the operating table where patient care and corporate profits battle to the death.
