Liu made his acting debut in the 2014 romance film Beijing Love Story, and was nominated for Best New Actor at the 2015 Beijing College Student Film Festival.[6]

In 2015, Liu starred in the comedy mystery film, Detective Chinatown,[7] directed by Chen Sicheng, and won a Best New Actor Award at the Huading Awards for his performance.[8] That same year, Liu starred in his first small-screen project, campus drama With You, which was adapted from the youth novel under the same title.[9] The drama series earned positive reviews,[10] and Liu won Most Popular New Actor at the 2016 iQiyi All-Star Carnival.[11]

In 2017, Liu played Su Yu in the patriotic film, The Founding of an Army.[12] He also featured in the historical mystery film Legend of the Demon Cat, which was directed by acclaimed director Chen Kaige.[13] That same year, he starred in the historical drama, Nirvana in Fire 2, which was a Daylight Entertainment production directed by the famed director Kong Sheng and the sequel to Nirvana in Fire by written by Hai Yan.[14] The series was critically acclaimed, and Liu received recognition for his acting.[15]

In 2018, Liu reprised his role in the film Detective Chinatown 2,[16] which premiered on Chinese New Year. The movie was a box office hit and grossed 3.4 billion RMB and is one of the top 10 highest-grossing film of all time in China (as of September 2022). Liu was nominated for Best Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards for his role and became the youngest actor to be nominated in the lead actor category for this award.[17] For Liu's accomplishments, Forbes China honored him as one of their 30 Under 30 Asia 2018 list, which consisted of 30 influential people under 30 years old who have had a substantial effect in their fields.[18]

In 2019, Liu filmed two movies with Chen Kaige, Flowers Bloom in the Ashes and My People My Country. His xuanhuan epic drama Novoland: Eagle Flag,[19] adapted from novels by the same name written by Jiang Nan, aired on Zhejiang TV, becoming the channel's highest rated drama in the 10pm time slot.
