==Early life==
Kate was born and raised in [[Hong Kong]].

Prior to winning her beauty queen title, Kate had originally aspired to become a professional dancer.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://ent.ifeng.com/music/special/hycmdj/people/detail_2010_04/02/448861_0.shtml | script-title=zh:提名名單：徐子珊|date=2010-04-02 |publisher= 鳳凰網娛樂|language= zh-tw |access-date=2011-11-28}}</ref> She had begun practicing [[ballet]] since the age of 4 but was forced to quit when she was 11 due to an injury on her right ankle. At the age of 14, she had begun to practice [[Jazz]] dancing, Salsa, and Argentina Tango.

She graduated from the [[University of California, Davis]], majoring in psychology.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/ent/2004-08/19/content_1824071.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040823004046/http://news.xinhuanet.com/ent/2004-08/19/content_1824071.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 23, 2004 |script-title=zh:香港小姐冠軍徐子珊專訪

In 2004, she entered the [[Miss Hong Kong]] beauty pageant and was crowned the winner along with the titles of Miss Photogenic, Miss International Goodwill, and the Slimming Beauty Award. After the pageant, she signed with [[TVB]] and began her career as an actress.

==TV career==
Following guest roles in The Zone and [[When Rules Turn Loose]] in 2005, Kate made her official TV debut in the TVB series, [[La Femme Desperado]] in 2006. Professional Taiwanese film critic, Mai Ruoyu, while critiquing Kate's film performance, had said that Tsui had demonstrated strong charisma and had effectively held her own in [[La Femme Desperado]], even while starring alongside veteran actresses, [[Sheren Tang]] and [[Melissa Ng]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://blog.udn.com/maijoyu/1759380 |script-title=zh:看港片年度成績單, 香港電影金像獎高過台灣金馬獎|author= 麥若愚 |date=2008-04-06 |publisher= 麥若愚的電影世界 |language= zh-tw |access-date=2015-11-09 }}</ref> Her role as Ida in the series was also nominated in the [[TVB Anniversary Award for Best Supporting Actress|Best Supporting Actress]] category, as well as the [[TVB Anniversary Award for Favourite Female Character|Favourite Female Character]] category, in the TVB Anniversary Awards 2006.

In 2007, Kate participated in three TVB drama series, including [[The Brink of Law]], [[On the First Beat]], and [[Steps (TV series)|Steps]]. The roles cumulatively earned her the [[TVB Anniversary Award for Most Improved Female Artist|Most Improved Female Artist]] award from the TVB Anniversary Awards 2007. Her role in [[Steps (TV series)|Steps]] also earned her nominations in the [[TVB Anniversary Award for Best Actress|Best Actress]] category, as well [[TVB Anniversary Award for Favourite Female Character|Favourite Female Character]] category for the same awards show.

In 2008, Kate took on her first role as a villain in [[Moonlight Resonance]], and the role earned her a Top 5 position in the [[TVB Anniversary Award for Best Supporting Actress|Best Supporting Actress]] category of the TVB Anniversary Awards 2008. On the other hand, her leading role in [[Speech of Silence]], in which she played a deaf character, had earned her a Top 10 position in the [[TVB Anniversary Award for Best Actress|Best Actress]] category of the aforementioned awards show.

While Kate's TV career quieted down from 2009 to 2010 due to her focus on her film career, 2011 was a fruitful year for her; with six of her TV dramas airing on TVB. Of the six roles, Paris Yiu from [[Lives of Omission]] garnered the most attention. Kate was awarded a My Favourite TVB Female TV Character award from the [[StarHub TVB Awards]], nominations in the [[TVB Anniversary Award for Best Actress|Best Actress]] and [[TVB Anniversary Award for Favourite Female Character|Favourite Female Character]] categories for the TVB Anniversary Awards 2011, as well as a nomination for Outstanding Actress in Television by the [[Ming Pao]] Anniversary Award.

Additionally, in 2011, with the high turnover rate in contracted TVB artists, TVB executive, [[Virginia Lok]], appointed Tsui, [[Myolie Wu]], [[Linda Chung]], and [[Fala Chen]], as the new Top 4 "Fa Dans" (a Cantonese term that is used for actresses with high popularity and status in TVB),<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://dailynews.sina.com/bg/ent/hktwstar/sinacn/20110327/16522327090.html |script-title=zh:樂易玲打造無線新四花旦陳法拉胡杏兒接旨

In [[Highs and Lows]] (2012), Tsui portrayed an extremely tragic character that struggled with substance abuse, gang rape, and eventually, drug dealing. Kate described her experience of filming this drama as "being on an emotional roller coaster", to the extent that she did not wish to speak to anyone or pick up the phone after work.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://dailynews.sina.com/bg/ent/tv/sinacn/20121107/00433937242.html |script-title=zh:《雷霆掃毒》完結結局悲情遭吐槽 |date=2012-11-07 |publisher=紅網 |language=zh-tw |access-date=2015-11-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160703034437/http://dailynews.sina.com/bg/ent/tv/sinacn/20121107/00433937242.html |archive-date=2016-07-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The producer of the drama, [[Lam Chi Wah]], referred to Tsui's role in [[Highs and Lows]] as the greatest breakthrough in her career and applauded her for setting down her image as a beauty pageant winner to dive into such a complex character in the drama.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/entertainment/art/20121027/18049561 |title= 視后肉搏戰徐子珊1秒輪姦VS楊怡1分鐘鼻頂 |date=2012-10-27 |publisher= 蘋果日報 |language= zh-tw |access-date=2015-11-09 }}</ref> Film director, [[Patrick Kong]], also noted in his column that Tsui's acting had greatly matured in [[Highs and Lows]], particularly in her portrayal of emotional scenes.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/entertainment/art/20121027/18049561|script-title=zh:影迷情琛 – 子珊加油 |author= 葉念琛 |date=2012-09-28 |publisher= 頭條日報 |language= zh-tw |access-date=2015-11-09 }}</ref>
