## Early life and education

Xiang was born in 1999 in Taiwan. She attended a vocational high school, where she studied early childcare. She described herself as "shy" during her childhood and did not have a particular interest in acting until she coincidentally joined an audition, which inspired her to pursue a career as an actress. At the age of 16, she auditioned for Giddens Ko's 2017 horror comedy film Mon Mon Mon Monsters, but did not secure a role. She continued her studies at the University of Kang Ning, majoring in early childhood care and education, and graduated with a Bachelor of Education in 2019. During university years, she became determined to pursue acting and took on multiple part-time jobs to save money for future auditions.
