Soon after, Liu was offered an artist contract to Hong Kong's leading television company, TVB, the same channel that hosted the Miss Chinese International pageant. Initially, she refused the contract, afraid that she would not be able to adapt to a new and unfamiliar environment. Eventually, she signed the contract with the support of her father, who was willing to give up work in Vancouver to help Liu develop her career in Hong Kong.

for the sitcom. Liu was given the role Joey Wong, an undergraduate fashion designer working for her father's company. That same year, Liu recorded songs for Happy Together, a soundtrack consisting of songs recorded by the Virtues of Harmony cast. The album was released on February 6, 2003. While Virtues of Harmony II filming was active, Liu was given a recurring guest role in the 2002 serial drama, Golden Faith
as Alice Yiu, starring opposite Gallen Lo

Nonetheless, the drama achieved a high rating spot, becoming one of the top ten most viewed Hong Kong series of 2002. Virtues of Harmony II
was released in 2003 and also well received with good ratings. Liu, however left the series in 2004 due to co-star Frankie Lam
's marriage to actress Kenix Kwok
. Lam ultimately never returned to the series even when it concluded in January 2005. The incomplete ending for Liu left viewers upset.

Liu's singing career began a rise in 2005, when she sang the theme song for Into Thin Air

recognition in 2006. Following the success of the single that same year, Liu won the "Best Newcomer Awards at the Jade Solid Gold Top 10 Awards
. Liu then began to sing a chain of other songs for television series, such as "Break Up" (also a track in the Lady In Red compilation), "Do You Still Need To Care," and "So In Love With You."
Liu emerged as a dark horse candidate by snagging the #2 spot amongst TVB's top-earning artists of 2006, mostly due to her numerous endorsement contracts. In the summer of 2006, LIu earned a contract with Nike, and became the first Asian spokesperson for the company. Her posters are now all over Asia promoting Nike yoga products.
