Career
 | This section of a biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (June 2020) |
An was born into a wealthy family in Taipei. Her father runs a security company, while her grandmother and aunt are major landlords in Taipei. An's parents divorced when she was four, and both her parents remarried. She and her mother stopped seeing each other, and she was raised in a strict manner by her father and stepmother.[2][3] Her cousin is actress Wan Wei Qiao.
An debuted in 2000 with the TV drama Spicy Teacher. She rose to fame in 2004 after starring in the youth idol drama The Outsiders opposite Dylan Kuo. She broke into mainland China shortly after by starring in the TV drama Chinese Paladin, an adaptation of the fantasy RPG The Legend of Sword and Fairy. Since then, she had been actively involved in both Chinese and Taiwanese productions, such as The Legend of Hero (2005), Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain (2006), Fast Track Love (2006), The Great Revival (2007), and Yun Niang (2008).
In 2009, she signed with Huayi Brothers, and was cast as Zhao Min in the wuxia drama The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, an adaptation of the novel of the same title by Louis Cha. While the wuxia drama met with a lukewarm reception, An found success that same year in the Taiwanese idol drama Autumn's Concerto, starring opposite Vanness Wu. In 2011, An played in two TV adaptations of China's Four Classic Novels, All Men Are Brothers and Journey to the West. In 2012, she reunited with Chinese Paladin co-star Hu Ge in short film Refresh 3+7. She starred in idol drama Go, Single Lady.(2014) alongside Mike He.
An retired from acting after her marriage in 2017.
Personal life
An's known as the head of her group of celebrity friends, collectively known as An Corporation, including Joe Chen, Shone An, Esther Liu, Bianca Bai, Linda Liao and Kimi Hsia.[4][5]
On March 15, 2017, An announced her marriage to Macau businessman Levo Chen, the boss of Macau's second biggest casino junket, whom she met in late 2014. They held their wedding on 5 June in Hawaii, as Chen is nicknamed 65.[6][7][8] They have a son, Ace, nicknamed "66",[9] born in 2019, and a daughter, Aira, nicknamed "Wa-bao", born in 2020.[10] In January 2022, Chen was arrested in Macau, reportedly for his involvement in the case of Alvin Chau. On April 21, 2023, Macau Primary Court’s first-instance verdict sentenced Chen to 14 years in prison on charges including illegal gambling, fraud, and money laundering.[11][12] On November 28, 2024, Macau’s Court of Final Appeal upheld the original verdict, maintaining a 13-year prison sentence but reducing the fine from 2.4 billion HKD to 1.8 billion HKD.[13]
