Fan's early work was in East Asian cinema and television, notably appearing in drama series My Fair Princess (1998–1999). Her breakthrough came with the film Cell Phone (2003) which was China's highest-grossing film of the year. She went on to star in several Chinese films, which include Lost in Beijing (2007), Buddha Mountain (2011) and Double Xposure (2012).

In 2018, Fan disappeared for three months, reportedly during an investigation into her tax affairs by the Chinese authorities. She was reportedly fined a sum greater than her net worth. She subsequently appeared on social media, offering a public apology over tax evasion, for which she was fined more than CN¥883 million (US$127 million).

She was not waiting to be rescued. She was waiting to be seen. The difference is everything. Three seasons retelling the Cinderella story — here named Ela, 18 — with Grimm's darker, more morally complex version as the source rather than Perrault's. In the Grimm version: the magical assistance comes from the hazel tree on her mother's grave (not a fairy godmother); the stepsisters mutilate their feet to fit the slipper; birds peck out their eyes at the wedding. This series honors that darkness while giving Ela genuine agency: she is not simply patient but strategically intelligent, learning to use her position of apparent powerlessness as invisibility. Three seasons track: Season 1 — the death of Ela's father, the stepmother's consolidation of power, the first ball; Season 2 — the second and third balls, the prince's search, the slipper's truth; Season 3 — the marriage, the stepsisters' consequences, and what Ela does with the power she has finally been given. Season 1 — The Ash Ela's father's death. The stepmother's consolidation. The first ball and its gift from the hazel tree. Season 2 — The Slipper Three nights. The prince's search. The stepsisters' attempts. The truth of the slipper. Season 3 — The Wedding The marriage. The stepsisters' consequences. Ela's choices about what mercy means when you hold power you were denied for two years.
