In 2022, Lee played Hsiang Wei-hsin, the lead character in the novel-adapted romance film My Best Friend's Breakfast,[23] for which she was nominated for Best New Talent in the 24th Taipei Film Awards.[24] She secured a main role in the mystery series The Leaking Bookstore [zh],[25] and appeared as the younger version of Cheryl Yang's character in a cameo in the 2023 comedy series Oh No!
