Yang Mi (born 12 September 1986) is a Chinese actress and singer. She made her acting debut in historical television series Tang Ming Huang, and later received acclaim for her leading roles in various television dramas and movies such as Chinese Paladin 3 (2009), Palace (2011), Tiny Times (2013–2015), The Breakup Guru (2014), Swords of Legends (2014), The Witness (2015), and Dear Translator (2016). Yang is one of the New Four Dan Actresses in mainland China.
Yang Mi was born to a police officer and a housewife. She was given name "幂" (exponentiation) because her parents are both surnamed Yang. The China Children's Film Studio held a children's television show training course and her parents signed her up for it. She graduated from the now-defunct Beijing Xuanwu Experimental Primary School. Yang is also a student of Beijing Film Academy's Performance Institute.
In 1990, at the age of four, Yang made her acting debut in the historical television series Tang Ming Huang directed by Chen Jialin, playing the role of a young Princess Xianning. Two years later, she starred in the television series Hou Wa, which won the 14th Flying Goddess Award and 12th Golden Eagle Award for Best Children's Television Series. She also had a minor role as Beggar So's daughter in King of Beggars (1992), which starred Stephen Chow as the titular character.
In the early 2000s, Yang rose to fame for her roles in television series such as Strange Tales of Liao Zhai (2005), The Return of the Condor Heroes (2006) and Wang Zhaojun (2007). She gained more popularity after starring in popular wuxia-fantasy drama Chinese Paladin 3 (2009).
