Liu Shishi (born March 10, 1987 in Beijing, China), also known by her English name Cecilia Liu, is a popular Chinese actress and ballerina. She is best known for her role as Ruoxi in the Chinese time-travel drama Scarlet Heart.
Known as one of the New Four Dan Actresses, Liu is one of the highest paid TV actress in mainland China.
Having been trained in ballet at the Beijing Dance Academy, Liu Shishi made her acting debut in the television drama series The Moon and the Wind (2005). She included a segment of Swan Lake in one of her scenes. She then starred in The Young Warriors (2006) and The Fairies of Liaozhai (2007).
In 2007, Liu graduated from Beijing Dance Academy and was signed on by Tangren Media, successfully making her transition from a dancer to an actress. She then starred as Mu Nianci in The Legend of the Condor Heroes (2008), which gained her more recognition.
Liu gained popularity after appearing in the popular wuxia-fantasy drama Chinese Paladin 3 (2009); her role as Long Kui broke her previous typecasting as a "gentle, kind, and understanding maiden" and received positive reviews from critics and fans.
The following year, Liu was cast in the drama A Weaver on the Horizon (2010), based on the life story of Huang Daopo. Originally cast in the role of the female protagonist, Liu instead chose to portray the bratty princess Zhao Jiayi as she felt that it would challenge her acting.
