Yam Bing-yee's role in The Merry Phoenix personifies her life as a respected and beloved second lead who beautifully complements the big-name stars while assuming the unsung supporting position. She plays a loyal maid, who pours herself into protecting her mistress (Fong Yim-fun), fending off unwelcome suitors and pulling secret strings to ensure that the lead characters marry each other. The consummate supporting actress!
