In 2005, Man ended her corporation with TVB where her first-team place was lost, and looked forward to retrieving her career in Mainland China.

TVB (1999 - 2005)
Shortly after signing on with TVB, Annie was cast into a major series, The Legendary Four Aces where she played a prominent role. Her major break came in 2001 when she was cast as the lead actress in Colourful Life alongside Frankie Lam (whom she had previously partnered with at ATV). Annie's character in the series, the lovable princess with a heart of gold called Dun Zhu (é¡¿ç ), had such a lasting memory on the audience that she became instantly recognised by the name of her character.[4]
Later in the same year, she took on yet another lead role in Whatever It Takes (co-starring Benny Chan). Despite being seen by many as a promising young actress, her talents had not been recognised and she was thereafter reduced to supporting roles.
During her years at TVB, Annie has appeared in 13 TV series as well as making guest appearances at various host shows.
