On the May 1 episode of NXT, she picked up her first televised win by defeating Rachel Evers.
In mid-November, Li got into a feud with Aliyah and Vanessa Borne, getting singles victories over the duo on the November 13 and 27 episodes of NXT respectively, the latter of which saw her get attacked by NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke afterwards.

In addition to her wrestling career, Xia has ventured into business and investments, focusing on fitness-related projects. Her passion for health and wellness has led her to create workout programs and products designed to inspire others to lead active lifestyles.
Before joining WWE, Li was a lifelong combat-sports athlete, competing in the martial art of wushu. She was the co-founder of her own fitness studio and achieved multiple first place finishes in various martial arts and fitness competitions including: the second World Traditional Chinese Wushu Championship, Nike Challenge Competition and first China Throw Down: Battle on the Bund.

Additionally, she is active on Twitter and Facebook, using these platforms to connect with her audience and promote her brand.
On the November 13 episode of Raw, after defeating Indi Hartwell via knockout, Li was interrupted by Becky Lynch who was not waiting to fight on Li's time, but rather her time, before getting into the ring and attempted to "Man Handle Slam" Li. She escaped Lynch's attempt and rushed out of the ring.
That same night, NXT's official Twitter account posted a video of Lyra Valkyria receiving a virtual invitation to a "Warriors Tea Ceremony" hosted by Li. On the following episode of NXT, the tea ceremony would take place, with Li explaining that the ceremony was important because it is how her ancestors honored their rival before combat.
Li would go on to compare the tea leaves crumbling in the heat to what would happen to Valkyria next week in their title match. Li would then command Valkyria to consume the tea, to which she respectfully declined. After declining, Li warned Valkyria that if she didn't consume the tea, Li would show no remorse in battle.
Before leaving, they both bowed in respect for one another. On the November 20 episode of Raw, Li got her match against Lynch, but Li lost. On the following night's episode of NXT, Li competed against Valkyria for the NXT Women's Championship in a losing effort.
Education
Xia Li attended college in China, where she pursued a degree in physical education. Her educational background has significantly influenced her wrestling career, equipping her with the knowledge of sports science and training methods. This foundation has helped her refine her techniques, making her a formidable competitor in the wrestling ring.
On the November 25 episode of NXT, a vignette aired of Li and fellow NXT superstar Boa, both haggard in appearance, entering the backseat of a vehicle together before being driven to an unknown location. The same elderly man who handed Boa a letter on the November 11 episode of NXT appeared outside of the building, appearing to be waiting for them.
Weekly vignettes began airing of both Li and Boa being brutally "punished for their failures", all while being watched over by the elderly man and a mysterious woman in black-and-white face paint. A transformed Li returned on January 6, 2021 during NXT's New Year's Evil special, squashing Katrina Cortez in dominant fashion.
The following week, she defeated another jobber in two strikes, but then was wordlessly given an order by her master on the stage, resulting in Li tying up the opponent and taking more shots at her. On the February 10 episode of NXT, Li defeated Cora Jade in quick fashion.
During and after the match, Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter came out to the ring to reason with her but she attacked them both for disrespecting her master Mei Ying.
Li went on to defeat both Catanzaro and Carter in singles bouts on the February 24 and March 10 episodes of NXT respectively, and beat them again in a handicap match three weeks later.
