Dear Sir or Madam

Brilliance Group (the Company)

We are lawyers qualified to practise in the Cayman Islands and have acted as Cayman Islands legal advisers to the Company in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1, including all amendments or supplements thereto (the Registration Statement), to be filed on or about the date of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), relating to the registration of the Company’s ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.0001 per share (the Shares) to be issued pursuant to the Resolutions (as defined in Schedule 1).

We are furnishing this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined the Documents (as defined in Schedule 1). We have not examined any other documents, official or corporate records or external or internal registers and have not undertaken or been instructed to undertake any further enquiry or due diligence in relation to the transaction which is the subject of this opinion.

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2 which we have not independently  verified.

Based solely upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3, we are of the opinion that under the laws of the Cayman Islands:

1	Existence and Good Standing.  The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing as of 5 April 2024 under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
2	Authorised Share Capital.  Based on our review of the M&A (as defined in Schedule 1), the authorised share capital of the Company is US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 ordinary shares of nominal or par value of US$0.0001 each of such class or classes as the board of directors of the Company may determine in accordance with the M&A.
