Liu was born in Taiwan but was sent to Vancouver, Canada to study at a young age by her parents. In 2004, Liu was selected to feature in a TV commercial of China Airlines, the largest airline and flag carrier of Taiwan. Before starting her acting career in 2005, Liu studied industrial design at Vancouver's Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

Liu debuted as the female lead in the 2005 star-studded film, Mob Sister, and earned a Best New Performer nomination at the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards for her performance. Since her acting debut, Liu has moved to Hong Kong to pursue her acting career and has been leading several films and TV series.
