In 2011, Yao starred in the romance drama Naked Marriage. The TV drama became a national sensation, and Yao was given the title of "Nation's Girlfriend" by the Chinese media.[3]
The following year, Yao starred in the youth drama Beijing Youth, about teens in Beijing struggling against the strict and traditional culture of their parents. The drama was well received among young Chinese mainland audiences.[4]
In 2013, Yao's fame continued to rise after she starred in two TV dramas, New Dating Era and Love Is Not Blind, which is adapted from a 2011 Chinese movie of the same name.[5][6] She was named the Most Popular Actress by Youku.[7]
However, in 2014, her affair with actor Wen Zhang was exposed. Her reputation was greatly damaged, and this temporarily halted her film career.[8]
Personal life

Some rumors suggested that their secret romance began when Ma was pregnant. Wen apologized to his family when he was caught by the media while Yao was widely blamed by the public through social media. Yao chose to keep silent after the disputed event and tried to escape from the public.[9]
