At the age of 18 and with little acting experience, Lin was cast as the female protagonist in the 2016 film The Mermaid directed by Stephen Chow.[3][4] The Mermaid was the highest-grossing film in China and launched Lin to fame.[5] The same year, Lin featured in the fantasy epic film L.O.R.D: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties, directed and written by Guo Jingming.[6]

Lin starred in another Stephen Chow film, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2 (2017) where she played the White Bone Spirit.[7] She was also cast in the Disney-made romantic comedy The Dreaming Man,[8] as well as historical epic Genghis Khan.[9]

In 2018, Lin starred in her first television series Battle Through the Heavens, a fantasy wuxia drama based on the novel of the same name.[10] She also starred in Beautiful Reborn Flower, a romance melodrama based on the novel of the same name by Anni Baobei;[11] and music-themed romance drama Cantabile Youth, based on the Japanese manga Nodame Cantabile.[12]

In 2019, Lin starred as the female lead in the romance film Fall in Love at First Kiss, a remake of the Taiwanese series of the same name.[13] She also reprised her role in the second installment of the film, The Mermaid.[14]
