Chen began to receive film role offers after her breakout performance, and signed with an artist agency to officially debut as an actress, albeit facing doubts on her decision to pursue a career as an actress by her mother in early stages.[15] In 2021, Chen landed her first major television role as A Ni, the female protagonist and a deviant schoolgirl who unexpectedly triggered a series of time-traveling incidents in a car accident, in the mystery thriller series .[16] She also appeared in a recurring role as a pregnant schoolgirl forced to abort her child at her mother's request in the sci-fi series ,[17] and had a minor role as 's character's daughter in the crime thriller series .[18] Chen also starred as the lead actress in the opening short film Be My Quarantine at the 2021 Kaohsiung Film Festival,[19] and in the music video of Oaeen's "Honey Ginseng" alongside Miao Ke-li.[20]

In 2022, Chen took on a recurring role as Wen, a mute girl confined by Lee Kang-sheng's character in a dungeon since a young age in the fantasy series .[21] She received nominations for both Best New Actress and Best Supporting Actress in the 4th Asia Contents Awards with the role.[22] Chen was cast in another lead role as Zoe Chao, the innocent daughter of a presidential candidate who gets dragged into a political scandal, in the 2023 Netflix political thriller series Wave Makers,[23] starring alongside Hsieh Ying-xuan, Jag Huang, Gingle Wang, and Leon Dai.[24] Her performance was well received,[25] [26] for which she won the Rising Star of the Year and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 5th Asia Contents Awards & Global OTT Awards. In 2024, Chen starred in a supporting role as Hsiao-ting, a co-worker of Greg Hsu's character at a karaoke bar, in the Taiwanese-Japanese romance film 18×2 Beyond Youthful Days.[27] She also appeared alongside her The Silent Forest co-star Troy Liu in the second season of the Netflix crime series The Victims' Game as Hsiao Chia-ying, a runaway girl who steals a bus with her friends to escape her parents' control,[28] and her performance received critical acclaim.[29] The same year, Chen appeared as the lead actress in the drama film The Uniform, which premiered at the Busan International Film Festival.
