The 34-year-old singer performed her popular hits, such as Courage and Summer, as well as songs from her latest album, Love in Heart. After the concert, she announced that she will take a break from her career and prepare to become a mother.

Ever since Leong released her debut album, Growing Up Overnight, in 1999 in Taiwan, she has been known as "the Queen of Love Songs", an allusion to the many love ballads she sings. Many of the songs in her repertoire, such as Happy Breakup and Courage, have become karaoke hits across Taiwan, Hong Kong and the mainland.

Since getting married to the businessman Tony Zhao, the pop star has worked less and concentrated more on her family.
