As the plot progresses, "The Story of Rose" becomes more and more fascinating. Huang Yimei, played by Liu Yifei, has gradually shown different levels of performance - from the rose that bloomed freely in the early stage, to the rose that withered after experiencing the hardships of life, to the rose that gradually matured as she grew up - Liu Yifei played a female 20-year-old From the age of 40 to 40 years old, she showed people that appearance and acting skills can coexist, allowing the audience to enjoy the story of "Rose".
In the play, Huang Yimei, who has just appeared, is a "proud girl of heaven". She has beauty, wisdom, family background, and full vitality. She can be a "female girl", she can rely on her beauty to commit crimes, and men will fall for her at a glance and be fascinated by her... These super "Mary Sue" plots can be rationalized when it comes to Liu Yifei. The love between Huang Yimei and Zhuang Guodong is so romantic that it makes people dizzy. So much so that the audience was stunned by Liu Yifei's beauty from the very beginning, and did not have any extra thoughts to consider her acting skills.

After getting out of the throes of broken love, Rose realized that "it cannot be established without breaking", and love is not all in life. So she simply cut off the past, quit her job, left Beijing, went to Shanghai to study for graduate school, and started the next phase of her life.

Liu Yifei's joy and grievance after meeting her parents, her joy and disappointment after giving birth to a child, these contradictory emotions are all layered and presented in just a few seconds. If it was Liu Yifei's beauty that made the audience ignore her acting skills in the early stage, then in the later stage, it was Liu Yifei's acting skills that made everyone ignore her appearance.
