According to a report, the 24-year-old has been actively promoting the luxury portfolio of her husband's business. She is also handling the public welfare of the e-commerce giant. She also reportedly invested in different companies, such as Uber.
Last March, Zetian met Bill Gates during the launch of JD's public goods fundraising platform. During April, she represented JD at the American Apparel and Footwear Association Gala. Recently, she also participated on the red carpet event of Cannes International Film Festival.
Zetian reportedly caught the attention of the public when she rose to fame in 2009 where her photo while holding a cup of milk tea went viral in China. She then gained the nickname, "sister milk tea."
She also reportedly received invitation by the famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou to star in a film but Zetian refused the offer.
Zetian was admitted to Tsinghua University and met Liu, her husband in New York when she was an exchange student. After three years of dating, the couple decided to tie the knot in 2015.
