In 2014, she starred in her first film as female lead in Design 7 Love (相愛的七種設計).[8][9] Hsu also starred in a Resorts World Sentosa promotional four-part micro-film series titled Cupid's World of Happiness (丘比特的幸福世界) alongside Leon Jay Williams and Xiao Xiao Bin.[10] The 40-minute-long microfilm (four episodes of 10 minutes each) tells the story of two vacationers unexpectedly meeting and finding love with each other through a series of adventures during their stay at Resorts World Sentosa.[11] In 2014, Hsu earned wider recognition after appearing in the TVBS series The Way We Were.
