In 2023, Leung appeared in the drama film In Broad Daylight as a mentally-disabled resident in a care home who was sexually harassed by the warden.[10][11] She won Best Supporting Actress in the 17th Asian Film Awards and Best Supporting Actress in the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards,[12][13] as well as a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the 60th Golden Horse Awards with her critically acclaimed performance.[14] Leung also appeared in the drama film Time Still Turns the Pages and reprised her role in Ready or Rot [zh], the sequel of Ready o/r Knot, in the same year.[15][8]
