Dilraba Dilmurat (born June 3, 1992), also known as Dilireba, is a Chinese actress, model, and social activist of Uyghur descent. She graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy in 2013. Following her lead debut in the television drama Anarhan (2013), she gained widespread attention for her supporting role in the fantasy series Swords of Legends (2014) and her performance as a pop star in Diamond Lover (2015), the latter of which earned her the Audience's Favorite Newcomer award at the 7th China TV Drama Awards. Her profile rose further in 2017 with her role in the international hit Eternal Love and her lead performance in Pretty Li Huizhen, which led to her being crowned the Golden Eagle Goddess at the 12th China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival in 2018. That same year, she became the first actress to win both the Audience's Choice for Actress and the Most Popular Actress awards at the China TV Golden Eagle Awards. By 2021, she solidified her commercial and critical standing with leading roles in the historical epic The Long Ballad and the successful romantic drama You Are My Glory.

"Red Silk, Black Lotus" is a lavish drama set in modern-day Shanghai, following Chen Ning (30)—a poised, intelligent Black woman adopted as a child by the influential Chen family. Torn between her adopted family's socialite expectations and her own identity, Ning falls for Li Wei (32), a dashing, driven executive with his own family pressures. Together, they must fight for their love and legacy against ex-lovers and rivals from both families, all set against a backdrop of high-stakes business, glittering galas, and cultural intrigue.
