Liu Xueyi
A Cancer through and through, Liu Xueyi carries a gentle, sensitive, deeply-feeling tenderness in everything he does.
Liu Xueyi, born in 1990 in Beijing, China, is a Chinese actor best known for his work in xianxia and costume dramas. He rose to wide recognition through his portrayal of Yu Sifeng in the fantasy romance Love and Redemption (琉璃), and through subsequent titles such as Guardians of the Dafeng-adjacent costume fare and 护心, cultivating a reputation for an elegant, refined, almost otherworldly 'immortal' presence on screen. Admired for a restrained, interior style of acting that leans on the eyes and on quiet stillness rather than overt gesture, he became one of the most instantly recognizable romantic leads in the costume-drama market, where his willowy grace and soft-spoken intensity suit devoted, long-suffering immortal characters. In 2026 he continues in that lane as the male lead of a costume-romance drama, extending the gentle, deeply-feeling image that his audience has come to expect from him.

Birth Chart Analysis
Chart Overview
Liu Xueyi is, by his Sun sign, a Cancer — one of the most tender and emotionally attuned signs of the zodiac. Before going further, an honest caveat: with his birth time unpublished, we can place his Sun but not his Moon or Rising, both of which are marked unknown here. That means this reading is a portrait of the Cancer Sun alone, not a full natal chart. Treat what follows as symbolic and for entertainment — an interpretive sketch drawn from one placement, not a claim about the private person. You can build a complete [natal chart](/western/chart) once an accurate birth time is known.
Water That Holds Its Shape
Cancer is a cardinal water sign, and its signature is feeling that runs deep and steady rather than loud. In Liu Xueyi you can read the classic Cancerian temperament: soft-spoken, sensitive, emotionally retentive, more inclined to convey a great deal through a glance or a held silence than through big declarative gestures. Where a fire sign performs passion outward, the Cancer Sun keeps its intensity interior, letting it well up quietly — which is exactly the register that makes his still, eyes-first style of acting land. It is a tenderness that doesn't announce itself, and that restraint is its own kind of depth. If you want to understand how a single Sun sign shapes emotional tone, the [learn](/western/learn) section walks through each sign's core temperament.
The Devoted Guardian
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and governed by the instinct to protect and to cherish. This is what distinguishes the Cancerian from other water signs: not the psychic depth of Scorpio nor the diffuse dreaminess of Pisces, but a homing, guardian devotion — the wish to shelter what one loves. It is easy to see why immortal, long-suffering, faithful-unto-the-end roles suit him so naturally; the refined, otherworldly characters he is drawn to are essentially studies in devotion, and devotion is Cancer's native tongue. The same sensitivity that makes the sign vulnerable also makes it deeply empathetic, able to feel a character's ache from the inside.
Synthesis
What emerges is a portrait of a gentle, deeply-feeling presence — the tender Cancerian whose strength is softness, whose depth is quiet, and whose emotional attentiveness suits the devoted, refined roles that have become his signature. Distinct from the more guarded or dramatic water signs, his is an openly tender, soft-spoken emotional depth. Remember once more that Moon and Rising remain unknown, so this is one bright thread rather than the whole weave, offered as symbolic entertainment.
