His portrayal of the elegant and dandy Wang Yuanfang was critically praised.[15] He continued his success streak with dual roles in Swords of Legends (2014), which was a huge commercial success.[16] The same year he released a single titled "Narcissus". The song received positive reviews from both the media and fans and topped various music charts in China.[17]

In 2015, Ma joined the cast of travel-reality show Sisters Over Flowers, and sung the theme song titled "Let Time Rewind in the Wind" for the show.[18] The same year, he starred in the comedy film Surprise.
