Her popularity increased after filming My Unfair Lady (不懂撒嬌的女人) series in 2017 and won TV Queen in 2017 TVB Star Awards Malaysia. Jessica is also perceived as a hot favourite for Best Actress award for the upcoming TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony and said: "I should have more confidence if losing TV Queen in Malaysia as the organisation committee does not give 2 awards to the same person normally, but I am willing to give it a try. (You film My Unfair Lady series after 18 years later and do you think it arrives too late?) Nope. I already feel contented to win award in 1999 and it is a bonus to me if win another award after 18 years later."

Jessica admits to treating it with a normal heart as it depends on her luck and destiny. She also praises Natalie Tong's (唐詩詠) acting skills has improved and asking if she feels sore losing an award to her, Jessica says: "Okay! To me, improvements deserve an award."
