She won both Best/Favourite Actress and Favourite TV Character at TVB 48th Anniversary Award Presentation, TVB Star Awards Malaysia 2014 and Singapore StarHub TVB Awards 2014. Sheh is the third actress to win Best Actress for a second time (leading with Liza Wang and Sheren Tang and it's her third time to win My Favourite Female Character at the TVB Anniversary Awards. She also became first actress to be crowned double TV Queen for a second time.

Sheh was the first Hong Kong television actress to be shortlisted for the semi-finals of the Best Actress category at the 35th International Emmy Awards in 2007.[5][6] In 2011 she was awarded Best Actress at the Asian Television Awards for her performance in Can't Buy Me Love.
