Package fontspec Error: The Font SimSun can't be found

Question

I am using Overleaf for my Chinese thesis work and having this issue "Package fontspec Error: The font "SimSun" cannot be found."

\setCJKmainfont[AutoFakeBold = {2.25},ItalicFont={[simkai.ttf]}]{SimSun}

` I am using XELateX Compiler. How I can solve this..

Because of this only Chinese Characters are not printing on my files.
