After having disappeared from the silver screen to give birth to a baby girl, actress Zhao Wei has returned to public view by picking up a role in the upcoming urban romance Love.

Huayi Brothers, the company producing the film, recently released a series of still photos featuring Zhao and a video clip of her dancing in sexy dresses.

According to the video, Zhao plays the role of a single mother who lives in Beijing.

"My character belongs to a special group in society—single mothers," Zhao said as she talked about her thoughts on her role in the film. "If she had been an ordinary wife and mother, there would have not been such a huge attraction for me."

The film, directed by Doze Niu, has a budget of 75 million yuan ($11.9 million) and will feature eight famous stars, including Shu Qi, Ethan Ruan, Mark Chao and Eddie Peng.

It will open in movie theaters around Valentine's Day.
